    Beautiful ship!

    Edit: Apparently I just missed the Hermione's visit to Philadelphia.

    I paid it a visit when it docked in Alexandria a few weeks back. Interesting stuff! My friend took some pictures, I'll get him to send them to me and will post them here if there's anything good.

    Alright, here we are. Pictures under the spoiler.


    Front view


    Paddleboat


    Cannon!


    Obviously the French flag was very present (though technically if they wanted to be completely accurate, they should have gone with the Bourbon fleur-de-lys as the tricolor/Revolution hadn't happened yet...)


    Rigging


    All in all a fun experience. We didn't have tickets so the two-hour wait in line was a bit long, but once we got on the ship it was pretty cool. It had that authentic smell to it which really helped the atmosphere.
