Building the Replica: In 1997 the international Hermione-La Fayette Association -- now consisting of over 4,000 members -- began the momentous task of constructing, crewing, and sailing a replica of the historic French frigate L'Hermione. The ship was launched and completed its sea trials in 2014. The Maiden Voyage: In 2015 a U.S. website Hermione 2015 was created to support the 2015 cruise of the replica L'Hermione to ports along the east coast of the United States. The National Park Service, the Washington-Rochambeau National Historic Trail, and W3R®-US are working with the Friends of Hermione-Lafayette in America to maximize this tremendous opportunity to reach the hundreds of thousands of visitors that will see L'Hermione in the U.S. in 2015.
