Glad, you made it to the ship, John.

The feeling on board has a special touch even lying in a dock.

If you imagine to serve there for month with all kind of weather, work and navigation.

Nice album indeed! :salute:

Yes, they have something to close the gunports vs. bad weather.

It‘s closed from inside.

...and the guns are fixed in the „barrel out“ position.

Yes, up to 3 guns on board are originals. The rest - full metal - reproductions.

The things I missed were the gunports and a more nice Stern section.

But a great experience to be on board.

At the moment the ship is repaired and the workers are busy with all the work that is to do to keep the ship in a sailable condition.

The white flag carries the names of al sponsors.

Everything was well explained, from sailing, rigging, cannons, navigating, etc.

Some pictures on the side again, I’ll correct this next week.:help:

A few pictures for you.

Not much text because I send them with my mobile phone.

But it was really impressing to see that ship!

Saw this one too,yesterday.

Rochefort is hard to master with the tide action.

I think you need some rudder boats to pull here into the docks.

I‘ll report...

Looks like I spend a few days in range of the famous French frigate rebuild! :shock:

Home Harbour of L‘Hermione is Rochefort. 29 km away from me.

The blue arrow on the map is my position.
