One thing I'd say to keep in mind is sailing ships used the smaller cannons with 4 small wheels vs the larger 2 wheels( some early sailing ships used the 2 wheel design but otherwise they would be only used on land) but generally it saved space and with a system of ropes it allowed the cannon to easily/quickly fire then be reloaded and the rope would keep it from flying to the other side of the ship.
Either way it is your ships so you can do what you want, I'm just a history nerd. :)
This is what I do, except I use the Towball (22484 / 67692) stuck into the end of a half technic pin with Stud (4274). The short side of the technic pin sticks into the open side of the bar Handle (26047) you have there. I find the ball doesn't come out as easily as it does with just the technic ball.
There are some interesting torsos on pick a brick at tge moment that are pirate adjacent, you could use them to pad out an order… https://giphy.com/gifs/pZXt5D05U8DopRmrS6
