So when do they have the mutiny? :)
And when do they get a pic of Emma Watson being on-board? ;)
:smack: Don't let your SWMBO hear you say that...
That is a beautiful ship.
as I recall there's been some debate about the bright colors on the SGN ships. But this one seems to match the SGN version pretty closely. Is it controversial?
Thats a good question!Quote:

Also the most ships had different colours in different times of their life.
She is already well aware of Emma Watson: http://www.m5p.com/~pravn/hp/index.html ....Quote:

Hermione is currently undergoing sea trials. The article I saw mentioned that she is scheduled to recreate Lafayette's voyage to the US next year.

Maybe we will be able to see Constitution with her in Boston Harbor.Quote:

Bobby, that comment was meant as a combo of "on top of all his OTHER irritations" and "I'm surrounded by..." O.O

Freds right, thats cheating.
If a lone british lady can sail around the globe, why do dozens of frenchmen need to cheat across the pond?
Meh!

I know in the US that in order to get USCG certification to carry passengers you have to have an auxiliary engine and watertight bulkheads among other safety requirements. Plus one must meet modern notions of timetables.
