Reconstruction of l'Hermione at Rochefort

This is the frigate that Lafayette sailed in (with 300 merry men) to Boston to fight in the American War of Independence (shhh - against the English). It's hoped to replicate the voyage in 2015.
The ship has been under construction in dry dock in the Naval Dockyard since 1997.

What a beautiful ship! (not a patch on my Cariad of course). Mind you 300 merry men on her would be a trifle matey wouldn't it. Beautiful sharp picture.

Love it that people do make replica`s of those old vessels. We have several in our country mostly build by volunteers and of school/work jobs .
It`s a beautiful ship and a great capture of it and her reflections in the water
