HISTORY IN THE MAKING..........HERMIONE

Post by DuncaninFrance » Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:44 pm

I have posted information about this project before but now there is a dedicated Youtube site which I think you will be interested in.

I am a member of the society that is building her and I visit the site 2 or 3 times a year to see the progress. Rochefort is only about an hour's drive from here so it makes a nice day out. :FRA:

Maybe you could sign on as ships photographer. I bet it will be visited by great numbers of Americans living in the area where it is going. It will be a memorable sight to see.

I'll be too old for 'bucket and chuck it sailing' in 2015! Hoping to go and visit the ship again next month so will post new pics when I do.
