I wonder if those cannon can fire true ball and shot or just puffs of smoke?

Yarrr, gorgeous! Lots of rigging there and the crew had to know every line in it because they had to dance the “rig-a-jig” in the dark, and in a gale, and in an ice storm rounding the Horn or up whaling off Kamchatka. Kids these days, begarrr...

Note that the rudder is chained to the stern. Apparently, the French aircraft carrier experience was instructive.

So this isn’t really a reconstruction or rebuild, but rather a new replica of the original ship that was lost in 1793.

Lafayette persuaded French King Louis XVI to provide military and financial support to George Washington's troops, and set off on March 21, 1780, from Rochefort, according to the Hermione project historians. He arrived in Boston 38 days later, and Lafayette played an important role in the revolutionary victory against England.Uhh. Not very good historians. Lafayette was specifically prohibited from going by the King, but he went anyway, in 1777.
To be fair, it's the reporter that's an idiot, not the historians.
This voyage was his second trip to America, and played out as described. But it reads like it was the first.
