PS. The doubling of the several images is the defect of the old film tape.

Trivia
Cannon
The “Missouri River” naval steamer is equipped with the smoothbore muzzle-loaded cannon. The combination of relatively large caliber and short barrel allows to suggest that it's a yedinorog ("unicorn"), a specific Russian model of the gun-howitzers of the 18th-19th centuries. This particular yedinorog seems to be naval model of early 1800s in 8-pounder caliber.

Naval Steamer
The “Missouri River” naval combat steamer appeared at the several scenes. Actually, it's a small river paddle steamer, maybe a tug but of course originally it wasn't a naval ship. In the movie it appears as a kind of gunboat.
