Rochefort and L'Hermione

After 20 years of working on the project to reconstruct an 18th century frigate in the former Royal Naval Docks, the ship is almost ready to sail. It has been amazing to watch the progress over the last six years or so and we hope to return next April when it sets of to sail to America, tracking the voyage the original (and the fleet) in the 1770's, taking La Fayette and his troops to support the rebels fighting for independence from Britain. Here's a phot-collage from today's visit.
