L'Hermione Classic Sailor with Nigel Pert

- The replica sailing Frigate L'Hermione was launched in 2014 after a 17 year build programme in Rochefort, France. Copied from a 1779 ship of the same name, and to the same lines, she faithfully recreates history and has proved herself superbly seaworthy, and manouevrable. She voyaged to America in 2015 to re-enact the voyage of the French noble Lafayette in forging an alliance between France and revolutionary America in the war of independance. Photographer Nigel Pert has been covering (and crewing) L'Hermione since her keel was laid in 1997 and relates his experiences while sharing his amazing collection of photos with Classic Sailor.

Great ship! Bravo, for keeping maritime history alive!
Love from France, and Hermione's crew!
how in the world could an entrance fee possibly even begin to cover the cost of building Her.If I had to throw a number at it,I'd start at 25 million and go from there, although that number is probably low.What an amazing feat.Look at how close the main frames are spaced.This girl would have been practically indestructible.
