Frigate l’Hermione — Sea Trials 2014

In 1780, the French frigate, l’Hermione carried the Marquis de Lafayette to America with the news of French support for the American revolution. In the next month or so, the newly completed replica frigate l’Hermione will recreate that historic voyage. Here is a video of l’Hermione on sea trials last fall.

Frigate l’Hermione — Sea Trials 2014 — 2 Comments

  1. Some scenes bring back happy memories others reminders of improved times.
    Whilst I admire them for getting this far one wonders how long it can continue for?
    A ‘bottomless pit’ comes to mind.

  2. Nicely shot and put together. I love the scenes below deck. Thank you for posting it…I already have it bookmarked.
