I went to the tall ships parade in Philly on 6/25 (and watch some ships come up the river the day before). I did get onboard L'Hermione for a tour and watch her fire a number of her 12lb guns in a salute. The Pride of Baltimore and Lynx were also there as was a Spanish galleon. Here is a selection of photos I took that day: flickr.com/photos/25676973@N02/sets/72157654788764850subheadingAUXILIAPAL | 10 Jul 2015 8:20 a.m. PST |

L'Hermione really is a nice ship! |

The French built BEAUTIFUL ships. I'm somewhat amazed at the lack of "gingerbread" on the ship, with yellow paint being used instead. Must have been a poor captain! |

You are a lucky man to have cleared a bucket list item like this. |

Nice pics, but you need to post some of L'Hermione herself from a distance. :-) MH |
