NF-SOOC Day 24: The Hermione

The Hermione is a 32-gun Concorde-class frigate fitted for 12-pounder guns, completed in Rochefort by the Asselin organisation in 2014. She is a reproduction of the 1779 Hermione, which achieved fame by ferrying General Lafayette to the United States in 1780 to allow him to rejoin the American side in the American Revolutionary War.

I am always absolutely amazed at how darned small these vessels were/are and how they sailed all over the world to do all sorts of things. Very interesting shot Richard.

Great capture of this magnificent sailing vessel.

[Margo Sayer]

Splendid shot. VML how the cloudy sky adds drama so long after this ship's hey day. How do you wangle such circumstances?
