This is a post that is a little off topic but was referred to me by a friend in Maubert, France. While on "vacance" he paid a visit to the construction site for the good ship Hermione. This is an historic reconstruction of the ship La Fayette sailed to America in support of the revolution. This ship is a massive undertaking using donated funds. The web site is beautifully done....and we hope to see the ship in Boston in the near future.
If you are a marine/naval history buff you will enjoy this site: http://www.hermione.com/en/
While we are on the topic I ought to suggest a visit to the Maine Maritime Museum is worth a visit as well. Their web site is at : http://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/
A visit to Bath, Maine is a great opportunity to see a very special portion of the Maine coast.
A two day trip ought to include Brunswick, Wiscasset,Boothbay, and Bath.
Check out the Maine Tourism page for mid-coast info: http://www.visitmaine.com/region/midcoast/
Their mid-coast pages will give you the information you need for a wonderful trip.
If you are reading this in search of your Franco heritage you will want to check out Bowdoin College
a gift of a very wealthy Franco in Maine many years ago. Wonderful small museum on campus
