L'Hermione en images

[@Cigarsnguitars]

Absolutely wonderful. The craftsmanship used in the assembly of the ship is second to none. A thing of beauty to be sure. 🤘

[@francinesicard464]

But what is even more amazing is that the original warship Hermione was built in 2 years without the power tools we have now. It took 17 years to build the copy, including several years to reconstitute the original plans. For reasons of safety and solidity, some modifications have been made (motorisation, conservation of food, etc.).

Thanks to all family members ❤❤❤❤

[@Soulvoicesinger]

Formidable, extraordinaire, exceptionnel, fantastique, on en redemande encore et encore... On n' en peut plus d' attendre ce voyage historique. MERCI aux artisans géniaux et autres bénévoles, encore bravo à l' association "Hermione".

[@robertwilliams450]

Beautiful work of art. Glad to see they are still being built

[@anisimov13]

Чего рад ? Подумай! Хорошо, когда деревья вырубают ради постройки кораблей? Экология и так страдает. Парниковый эффект, глобальное потепление. Планете Земля не хватает кислорода. Радуйся дурачок...

[@jimzo1985]

She is a beautiful ship the people of france must be proud of her !

[@msjfarms5370]

Super

[@navyf4s]

Absolutely fantastic! Bravo, and well done France!

[@GalSolidsymmetry]

What a beauty! 3:45 - I think including ball bearings in the joint between the floor and rotating axis, would make such a difference! Without friction and drag, this idea would optimize the process that could be easily done as well with only half of men needed to spin that heavy axis. I know that tuners on the cello and double bass are designed the same... The axis is not the same width, but alternates, like a tapered extruded circle... like a cone. The joints are fixed when submerged, but when raised from the shell, the spin is possible. Was ball bearrng machine element developed so much later?

[@thegrayknight71]

I get tears in my eyes everytime i see this. She is sooo beautiful. Thank you, thank you, thank you France.

[@jakolarime]

Excellent documentaire qui met en lumière l'énormité de la tâche, et la magnificence du résultat !

[@skakerse]

et dire que ya un temps ou les mers regorger de navire comme celui ci ,ces comme remonter le temps :)

[@colehalford1893]

I loved that they dressed up in the Proper costumes. 👍

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Thanks to all family members ❤❤❤❤

[@3funke]

i was fortunate to be able to see her being built over a number of years in the Royal Rope Works at Rochefort when we went on Holiday to Chatellon Plage, and also saw her under sail, beautiful ship and a credit to her shipwrights.

[@trevorh6438]

What exquisite beauty.. breathtaking. This, is what you call, a ship.

[@carlwheezer3353]

@Brandy Kusumoto nice alt xd

[@W4ABN]

She's a beautiful ship. Thanks for showing her construction.

[@BoatbuildingIndia]

Thanks to all family ❤❤❤❤❤

[@shekhargolapkar9074]

Marvelous marine engineering and absolutely super fine craftsmanship.

[@richardhockey8442]

A testament to the level of skill and craftsmanship that goes into building ships of the late 1700s like the USS Constitution and the HMS Victory. It's nice to see the skills preserved

[@mrvpnsecure9937]

So inspiring, thank you for this ship. It's gorgeous! And you made a wonderful job!

[@jpooch00]

Beyond amazing! Most incredible of all is that they were able to construct these ships back in the day with no power tools, just legions of skilled workers slaving away day after day with hand tools. I wonder what the final cost of the construction of this ship was? Gotta be in the mega-bucks, and then some!!!

[@whyusojelly7989]

Yes and sometimes they opened a mill just for the boat build, homedepot wasn't in every city. The video is cool but not impressive at all been doing this for hundreds of years with a lot less, I mean people are amazed at spaceX doing some of the things people did almost 60 years ago.

[@chrisharrisseacaptainchris]

Sailors are the most intracate folks on the planet ,and their perfection is second to none!The gold leafing is perfect!

[@flat5sharp11]

The size of the thing is mind blowing. Amazing work.

[@ejtipp4650]

Im watching the show "Black Sails" and it made me question how on earth people hundreds of years ago were able to construct such Monsterous machines with such precision without computers and what we consider modern technology. It is absoulutly AMAZING what the people before us were to acheive. It begs the question....are we really more advanced now they they were then?! Absoulutly amazing!

[@Algernon7]

And to think, ships like these were built in a fraction of the time without modern equipment, human enginuity is truly marvelous

[@hevendor958]

she like a giant wooden sailing ship model kit

[@moniquemacia9570]

Super travail ,dans le respect de la construction de l'époque BRAVO !!! et merci car vous nous faites rêver .

[@hudsonbridges5710]

At 4:18 what is that big device called that he is spinning around? What is it’s purpose?

[@DauntlessK]

Capstan. Used for raising anchor or hoisting things.

[@timothyblackburn6801]

I love these old school ships. They are like the cars of the 50's & 60's. They have tons of personality in their design. It would be amazing to sail the seats in one of these and listen to the sound of the wooden ship as it breaks through the waves and rocks back n fourth.

[@russellhawkins5113]

Wow..... what a magnificent ship. The inspector in period costume is priceless. Great touch.

[@mauriciom8431]

[@kurtbjorn]

France - Merci beaucoup! This is a wonderful testimony to American/French relations. Without France, we would not have won our revolutionary war, and would not exist as a nation. We will not forget.

[@marcryvon]

KurtB Sadly, some Americans don't remember that. Namely G.W.Bush who said, after France refused to be part of the Irak disastrous invasion: "You are with us or against us!" I guess he didn't even know who LaFayette was ! So stupid a remark lead to renaming French Fries to American Fries! I'm not teasing you at all, as a Canadian living in Montréal, Québec, and often visiting your country, mostly New England, I always been welcomed by fine and gracious people. Kudos, mon ami !

[@nothingnewtome1]

Omg more please. I could watch an hour of this every day. different ships. omg this was wonderful

[@mikearakelian6368]

Soooo much fun to do if you are a woodworker,work with your hands! I could havelots of fun everyday doing this; love tall ships! These folks actually kno how to sail a square rigged ship!! Crew of Constitution should train with these folks as they don't have the skills the frogs have!!

[@randyscott9034]

Is she in the water now? Are there any images of her completed ?

[@nojoek111]

I was able to go on this ship, when it came to Alexandria Va. What an amazing work of art.

[@suestroud]

I love L'Hermione and I love that she has given my nephew Ryan Karakai the chance to live his dreams.

[@raphaelgueugnon5233]

J'ai eu la chance de suivre cette aventure depuis 1997 😊, quel merveilleux bateau 😍

[@joachimschreiber7835]

hard to immagoine it took them 13 years to build and france or spain or portugal or great britaain in their famous sea battles sometimes lost multiple DOZENS of them at once...how many people must have been building these gigantous wooden armadas without powertools? hard to imagine indeed...feels like the effort to build a pyramid...

[@loganpollock1689]

one question-the original ship took two years to build without the aid of power tools and cranes, so why did this one take nearly twenty years to build?

[@carmelpule6954]

I remember reading the history books about the Royal Navy being built, after Henry VIII ordered that his naval power be extended. There was one particular conscientious Admiral who felt so guilty about the number of oak trees being cut to make the 'ships of the line' that the British forests were being depleted so fast, he used to walk to the forest to see the woods being selected for building the British ships and he took with him a dozen acorns and planted them hoping that the massacre of the British Forests could be corrected by planting tress which would be ready in the next 100 years. Anyway , this ship is beautiful. It massacres the forests but it is beautiful . I hope that it is kept in good condition for posterity of the old skills. Such elegance in design and such workmanship would be rather expensive these days and I do wonder if the skills still exist. Just imagine all those separate relatively short pieces of wood and they have to act as one unit in a story sea. It is understandable that a wooden ship creeks where it is moving under sail, it is worrying to say the least, but they held, thanks to all those shipwrights whose names are never mentioned in history books.... but it them who made the Navy and not people like Horatio Nelson and the like.

[@klauspendolo1393]

Very beautiful! Nice that the handwork, the craftmanship hasn’t been forgotten

[@Graham19951]

Staggering when you see the timbers, and the time it took to build her and she is only a frigate. Imagine what it took to build the Victory size ships.

[@johncarous8503]

im asking because I don't know? what is the red round piece of wood with the slots and what does it do? thank you . please no smartass comments from know it alls like the last question I asked , thank you.

[@nupamato]

Hi John, It is capstan, used to weigh the anchor. Today, we would call it windlass. It was also used to tighten the sheets (ropes controlling the sails).

[@johncarous8503]

thank you I love all this ,really great craftsmanship.

[@DarkestdaysAU]

Is there an English translation of this video?

[@quelin1]

1:40 I figured it would have been bigger once it was built. Sure looked bigger than that when it was in pieces.

[@pilladisimo87]

[@robertbrunston5406]

This ship is huge! I never knew they made such huge wooden ships! It sure is awesome! Thank you.

[@lotuselanplus2s]

She is a lovely ship but if you think she is huge then have a look at the HMS Victory, much bigger.

[@polites4330]

Not more 20- 25 metres!

[@samsi469]

Quelle sublime machine, quelle savoir faire c'est impressionnant, alors imaginer a l'époque ou il ne m'était "que" 2 ans pour construire un bateau similaire, et sans outillage moderne (genre ponçeuse, palant électrique, chariot élévateur etc... entre autre). Chapeau !!!

[@declissonolivier9376]

Des ponceuses, ils n'en avaient pas. C'était au charpentier préparateur d'affiner son bois. Des palans et chariots, ils en avaient... A la force d'animaux tournant les cabestans à terre. Mais, tu as raison, Rochefort fut à son temps un des plus gros chantiers du monde... Des milliers de charpentiers, forgerons, ébénistes, voiliers, cordeliers... Des bagnards, aussi pour apporter les pièces lourdes... Rochefort, à son apogée, fournissait, au minimum un bateau tous les six mois. Rochefort a été créé rien que pour cela par Colbert.

@Stable Genius ??

[@TileBitan]

@Stable Genius its just an idiom. It doesnt mean that girls dont play or whatever, the phrase is just about boys and men. No harm intended. It doesnt say anything about girls. That aside, its true though that traditionally men play with things they keep playing with until old age (they just swap toy cars for real competitive cars, rc boats for recreational ships...) and women just move on

[@discombubulate2256]

Corvette, not a frigate! Napoleonic vessels classification Frigates wants minimum of 30 artillery pieces, corvettes wants a maximal of 28 (30 rare). If it is a french vessel, it will classificated on french classification terms. A good vessel , however!

[@Anne6621]

this is cool and amazing , but no matter how amazing it is to me it just blows my mind how they built these ships 300 years ago and never mind not having the modern tools we have today , just the fact of these workers didn't have the ability to stay warm and dry during construction , or getting injured OMG !!!

And to think the Hermione was a small frigate, two hundred years ago shipyards were turning out Frigates & Ships of the Line in relatively large numbers in France, Britain et al without the benefit of electricity. It is awe inspiring to think about.

Einfach unglaublich !! Bestimmt haben sie nicht so superexakt gearbeitet wie die Bootsbau heute was die Leistung bzw das ergebniss nicht schmälert.

[@cruzanmongoose]

Imagine how much more work it was to build a square rigger like that in the 1700s

[@bencarlson9803]

cruzan mongoose...ah, im guessing it would have taken a few more days and maybe a couple more temp workers back then

[@shannonlove4328]

Really a useful educational/training tool because more than any resource, watching the workers and especially the costumed figure running around the ship give an intuitive sense of scale that's hard for non-specialist to grasp from other resources.

[@thebentley71]

The should of made it a charter boat for cruising. Made to look old but with modern rooms & plumbing. With generators & perhaps modern wood mast & sails. All it is now is a floating musuem that comes in to ports to be looked at, & they will never ever get their money back, because all the wood they used cost millions of dollars. I bet this boats cost 10 mill if not more.

[@fitrianhidayat]

What took them so long?

[@rchristie5401]

Extraordinary achievement by the French. The dedication to your nations past is exemplified by the skill in producing an exact replica, of it. Sailing this vessel to America was the icing on the cake.

Of all the things humanity has created the wooden ships belongs to the most pleasing for the eye
