That's fancy one. Big, too, if she carries 50 guns

 

Also, about Fama (post #2): How is she a frigate? She's basically a 64-gun 3rd rate SoL.

Well the Venetians called her fregata grossa,literally meaning super frigate hence calling her a frigate.The appropriate classification is up to you guys :D

30x20pd on the deck

6x120pd(!) in the corridor

Reminder: Venetian lbs =! British lbs., e.g. Venetian 40pdr is equivalent to British 26pdr. Still those denoted with ! appear to be very large weapons. Not sure what they would be circa 1716.

Edit: threedecks.org says they were shell guns. Possibly the nominal weight is for solid shot, but they only fired much lighter shells?

Lower Gun Deck 4 Venetian 200-Pounder Shell Gun

Lower Gun Deck 22 Venitian 40-Pounder

Upper Gun Deck 4 Venetian 120-Pounder Shell Gun

Upper Gun Deck 22 Venitian 30-Pounder

Quarterdeck/Forecastle 16 Venetian 14-Pounder

Quarterdeck/Forecastle 2 Venetian 14-Pounder Culverin

"venetians use differents pound measurements (Libbre Sottili= 301,2 g, and Libbre pesanti = 477 g)
The Libbre sottili was used in ship gun sizes."

 

taken from http://koti.mbnet.fi/felipe/html/ships_1667-1797.html

 

1 pound =0.45359237 kilograms so it is rougly 22 grams off than the venetian pound.If you want to make the conversions be my guest  :P 

 

There is also a chart in the same link:
