A life-size replica of the Hermione, the French navy frigate made famous when it carried General Lafayette to Boston to help fight in the American War of Independence, has embarked on its maiden voyage more than 200 years after the original ship, which was wrecked.

What a fantastic looking ship.

£20 million - wow. Wonder what the original would have cost in terms of today's money?
Happy Modelling
