Formidable, extraordinaire, exceptionnel, fantastique, on en redemande encore et encore... On n' en peut plus d' attendre ce voyage historique. MERCI aux artisans géniaux et autres bénévoles, encore bravo à l' association "Hermione".
But what is even more amazing is that the original warship Hermione was built in 2 years without the power tools we have now. It took 17 years to build the copy, including several years to reconstitute the original plans. For reasons of safety and solidity, some modifications have been made (motorisation, conservation of food, etc.).
i was fortunate to be able to see her being built over a number of years in the Royal Rope Works at Rochefort when we went on Holiday to Chatellon Plage, and also saw her under sail, beautiful ship and a credit to her shipwrights.
Чего рад ? Подумай! Хорошо, когда деревья вырубают ради постройки кораблей? Экология и так страдает. Парниковый эффект, глобальное потепление. Планете Земля не хватает кислорода. Радуйся дурачок...
A testament to the level of skill and craftsmanship that goes into building ships of the late 1700s like the USS Constitution and the HMS Victory. It's nice to see the skills preserved
I love these old school ships. They are like the cars of the 50's & 60's. They have tons of personality in their design. It would be amazing to sail the seats in one of these and listen to the sound of the wooden ship as it breaks through the waves and rocks back n fourth.
Beyond amazing! Most incredible of all is that they were able to construct these ships back in the day with no power tools, just legions of skilled workers slaving away day after day with hand tools. I wonder what the final cost of the construction of this ship was? Gotta be in the mega-bucks, and then some!!!
Yes and sometimes they opened a mill just for the boat build, homedepot wasn't in every city. The video is cool but not impressive at all been doing this for hundreds of years with a lot less, I mean people are amazed at spaceX doing some of the things people did almost 60 years ago.
Im watching the show "Black Sails" and it made me question how on earth people hundreds of years ago were able to construct such Monsterous machines with such precision without computers and what we consider modern technology. It is absoulutly AMAZING what the people before us were to acheive. It begs the question....are we really more advanced now they they were then?! Absoulutly amazing!
Quelle sublime machine, quelle savoir faire c'est impressionnant, alors imaginer a l'époque ou il ne m'était "que" 2 ans pour construire un bateau similaire, et sans outillage moderne (genre ponçeuse, palant électrique, chariot élévateur etc... entre autre). Chapeau !!!
Des ponceuses, ils n'en avaient pas. C'était au charpentier préparateur d'affiner son bois. Des palans et chariots, ils en avaient... A la force d'animaux tournant les cabestans à terre. Mais, tu as raison, Rochefort fut à son temps un des plus gros chantiers du monde... Des milliers de charpentiers, forgerons, ébénistes, voiliers, cordeliers... Des bagnards, aussi pour apporter les pièces lourdes... Rochefort, à son apogée, fournissait, au minimum un bateau tous les six mois. Rochefort a été créé rien que pour cela par Colbert.
@Stable Genius its just an idiom. It doesnt mean that girls dont play or whatever, the phrase is just about boys and men. No harm intended. It doesnt say anything about girls. That aside, its true though that traditionally men play with things they keep playing with until old age (they just swap toy cars for real competitive cars, rc boats for recreational ships...) and women just move on
I remember reading the history books about the Royal Navy being built, after Henry VIII ordered that his naval power be extended. There was one particular conscientious Admiral who felt so guilty about the number of oak trees being cut to make the 'ships of the line' that the British forests were being depleted so fast, he used to walk to the forest to see the woods being selected for building the British ships and he took with him a dozen acorns and planted them hoping that the massacre of the British Forests could be corrected by planting tress which would be ready in the next 100 years. Anyway , this ship is beautiful. It massacres the forests but it is beautiful . I hope that it is kept in good condition for posterity of the old skills. Such elegance in design and such workmanship would be rather expensive these days and I do wonder if the skills still exist. Just imagine all those separate relatively short pieces of wood and they have to act as one unit in a story sea. It is understandable that a wooden ship creeks where it is moving under sail, it is worrying to say the least, but they held, thanks to all those shipwrights whose names are never mentioned in history books.... but it them who made the Navy and not people like Horatio Nelson and the like.
France - Merci beaucoup! This is a wonderful testimony to American/French relations. Without France, we would not have won our revolutionary war, and would not exist as a nation. We will not forget.
KurtB Sadly, some Americans don't remember that. Namely G.W.Bush who said, after France refused to be part of the Irak disastrous invasion: "You are with us or against us!" I guess he didn't even know who LaFayette was ! So stupid a remark lead to renaming French Fries to American Fries! I'm not teasing you at all, as a Canadian living in Montréal, Québec, and often visiting your country, mostly New England, I always been welcomed by fine and gracious people. Kudos, mon ami !
Triste,triste,debatacion de nuestros bosques y como debemos evoluvionar es hora de usar el plastico reciclado,el cual No se pudre,No se hunde,No requiere mantenimiento continuo y se deja moldear al gusto,se trabaja igual que la madera. ..Animooóooo Ingenierooosss.
magnifique, juste en observant mon âme s'illumine, j'adore naviguer et mon rêve de construire mon propre bateau pour ma retraite, félicitations, très beau quelque chose d'historique pour aujourd'hui
Staggering when you see the timbers, and the time it took to build her and she is only a frigate. Imagine what it took to build the Victory size ships.
I. have watched this a couple times and am amazed that more people don’t build a yacht similar to this. It is so beautiful with the wood work. I don’t care for this aesthetic, sanitized and neutral colors, no wood work at all!
A beautiful ship, tells a great story about the friendship and history between our two nations. Our people see Great Britian as our biggest ally, mostly because we speak the same language. But if not for the French, we may not have been a Country.
hard to immagoine it took them 13 years to build and france or spain or portugal or great britaain in their famous sea battles sometimes lost multiple DOZENS of them at once...how many people must have been building these gigantous wooden armadas without powertools? hard to imagine indeed...feels like the effort to build a pyramid...
Ah don't worry about it. It took 10+ years because of a lack of funding. The project was delayed and interrupted multiple times due to the lack of funds.
this is cool and amazing , but no matter how amazing it is to me it just blows my mind how they built these ships 300 years ago and never mind not having the modern tools we have today , just the fact of these workers didn't have the ability to stay warm and dry during construction , or getting injured OMG !!!
Funny how this is a ship build in the times of the monarchs.. Lovely that they didn't change the design to the revolutionary one. Mostly french pride is based around Napoleon, now around the time of the kings. I like it!
The French have a lot to be proud of, not just Napoleon. Sun king, Joan Arc, the crusades, WW1, conquest of North Africa and Indochina, Philip Augustus, the Revolutionary wars, defeat of the British in the US etc.
Yes, but if you go to France twice a year like me, the words Egalité, Fraternité et Liberté are heard everywhere, and the king can only be seen at the court of Versailles, but nowhere else.
Really a useful educational/training tool because more than any resource, watching the workers and especially the costumed figure running around the ship give an intuitive sense of scale that's hard for non-specialist to grasp from other resources.
What a beauty! 3:45 - I think including ball bearings in the joint between the floor and rotating axis, would make such a difference! Without friction and drag, this idea would optimize the process that could be easily done as well with only half of men needed to spin that heavy axis. I know that tuners on the cello and double bass are designed the same... The axis is not the same width, but alternates, like a tapered extruded circle... like a cone. The joints are fixed when submerged, but when raised from the shell, the spin is possible. Was ball bearrng machine element developed so much later?
Extraordinary achievement by the French. The dedication to your nations past is exemplified by the skill in producing an exact replica, of it. Sailing this vessel to America was the icing on the cake.
Im watching the show "Black Sails" and it made me question how on earth people hundreds of years ago were able to construct such Monsterous machines with such precision without computers and what we consider modern technology. It is absoulutly AMAZING what the people before us were to acheive. It begs the question....are we really more advanced now they they were then?! Absoulutly amazing!
Jeremy Lacombe thank you . my father was a boat builder in 1965 . my birth place is a port town..you can watch a boat building yard in a opnen sapace in my yt video " cuddalore ot boat buelding yard"
honestly a passion of mine is to do exactly the fine art your doing'', I see this craftsmanship as great art'', and it is'', with function of course , as important as da'vinci, or any of the other artist whom also had a love for doing what you are doing, they understood art is many things as we see with your ship building , I really enjoy these freat art'' ,thanks, for sharing'', jon.
Just imagine how they built ship's like this WITHOUT all the modern tools. Just insane. Was crackin up at the dude all in costume, doin jack shit, walkin around touching everything hahah.
Einfach unglaublich !! Bestimmt haben sie nicht so superexakt gearbeitet wie die Bootsbau heute was die Leistung bzw das ergebniss nicht schmälert. Als ich eben sah wie riesig das Schiff ist wie viel kraft und Schweiß darin steckt, aber dann auch mit einer achtlos umgestoßene Petroleum laterne zunichte gemacht.
And to think the Hermione was a small frigate, two hundred years ago shipyards were turning out Frigates & Ships of the Line in relatively large numbers in France, Britain et al without the benefit of electricity. It is awe inspiring to think about.
this is amazing work...even more imoressive how they could build these ships so long ago with out the same technology..but i have to say that the guy running around the ship in old fashion clothes looking like a giant dork really kills the vibe and makes it harder to takd it serious lol...none the less, amazing3
Formidable, extraordinaire, exceptionnel, fantastique, on en redemande encore et encore... On n' en peut plus d' attendre ce voyage historique. MERCI aux artisans géniaux et autres bénévoles, encore bravo à l' association "Hermione".
Absolutely wonderful. The craftsmanship used in the assembly of the ship is second to none. A thing of beauty to be sure. 🤘
But what is even more amazing is that the original warship Hermione was built in 2 years without the power tools we have now. It took 17 years to build the copy, including several years to reconstitute the original plans. For reasons of safety and solidity, some modifications have been made (motorisation, conservation of food, etc.).
Thanks to all family members ❤❤❤❤
Gusto ko Rin magawa Ng sharing barko na kahoy,,
Excellente ,,
I like it 👍
She is a beautiful ship the people of france must be proud of her !
Super
I get tears in my eyes everytime i see this. She is sooo beautiful.
Thank you, thank you, thank you France.
I loved that they dressed up in the Proper costumes. 👍
Thanks to all family members ❤❤❤❤
Respect à tous qui ont fait ce chef d'oeuvre la vraie France
What exquisite beauty.. breathtaking. This, is what you call, a ship.
@Brandy Kusumoto nice alt xd
She's a beautiful ship. Thanks for showing her construction.
Thanks to all family ❤❤❤❤❤
Marvelous marine engineering and absolutely super fine craftsmanship.
i was fortunate to be able to see her being built over a number of years in the Royal Rope Works at Rochefort when we went on Holiday to Chatellon Plage,
and also saw her under sail, beautiful ship and a credit to her shipwrights.
Beautiful work of art. Glad to see they are still being built

Excellent documentaire qui met en lumière l'énormité de la tâche, et la magnificence du résultat !
et dire que ya un temps ou les mers regorger de navire comme celui ci ,ces comme remonter le temps :)
Sailors are the most intracate folks on the planet ,and their perfection is second to none!The gold leafing is perfect!
I love L'Hermione and I love that she has given my nephew Ryan Karakai the chance to live his dreams.
I love these old school ships. They are like the cars of the 50's & 60's.
They have tons of personality in their design.
It would be amazing to sail the seats in one of these and listen to the sound of the wooden ship as it breaks through the waves and rocks back n fourth.
And to think, ships like these were built in a fraction of the time without modern equipment, human enginuity is truly marvelous
she like a giant wooden sailing ship model kit
J'ai eu la chance de suivre cette aventure depuis 1997 😊, quel merveilleux bateau 😍
Beyond amazing!
Most incredible of all is that they were able to construct these ships back in the day with no power tools, just legions of skilled workers slaving away day after day with hand tools.
I wonder what the final cost of the construction of this ship was? Gotta be in the mega-bucks, and then some!!!
Yes and sometimes they opened a mill just for the boat build, homedepot wasn't in every city. The video is cool but not impressive at all been doing this for hundreds of years with a lot less, I mean people are amazed at spaceX doing some of the things people did almost 60 years ago.
I was able to go on this ship, when it came to Alexandria Va. What an amazing work of art.
Wow..... what a magnificent ship. The inspector in period costume is priceless. Great touch.
The size of the thing is mind blowing. Amazing work.

Des ponceuses, ils n'en avaient pas. C'était au charpentier préparateur d'affiner son bois. Des palans et chariots, ils en avaient... A la force d'animaux tournant les cabestans à terre. Mais, tu as raison, Rochefort fut à son temps un des plus gros chantiers du monde... Des milliers de charpentiers, forgerons, ébénistes, voiliers, cordeliers... Des bagnards, aussi pour apporter les pièces lourdes...
Rochefort, à son apogée, fournissait, au minimum un bateau tous les six mois. Rochefort a été créé rien que pour cela par Colbert.
The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys !
all universities , should have a lesson for these ships and structures
@Stable Genius ??
@Stable Genius its just an idiom. It doesnt mean that girls dont play or whatever, the phrase is just about boys and men. No harm intended. It doesnt say anything about girls.
That aside, its true though that traditionally men play with things they keep playing with until old age (they just swap toy cars for real competitive cars, rc boats for recreational ships...) and women just move on
Magnifique, un beau bateau. Parfait pour un aventure
Omg more please. I could watch an hour of this every day. different ships. omg this was wonderful

There was one particular conscientious Admiral who felt so guilty about the number of oak trees being cut to make the 'ships of the line' that the British forests were being depleted so fast, he used to walk to the forest to see the woods being selected for building the British ships and he took with him a dozen acorns and planted them hoping that the massacre of the British Forests could be corrected by planting tress which would be ready in the next 100 years.

Very beautiful! Nice that the handwork, the craftmanship hasn’t been forgotten
Staggering when you see the timbers, and the time it took to build her and she is only a frigate. Imagine what it took to build the Victory size ships.
L'Hermione est une superbe réalisation. La seule fausse note, c'est le mobilier du carré des officiers. Qui semble sorti de chez Conforama.
I. have watched this a couple times and am amazed that more people don’t build a yacht similar to this. It is so beautiful with the wood work. I don’t care for this aesthetic, sanitized and neutral colors, no wood work at all!
Super travail ,dans le respect de la construction de l'époque BRAVO !!! et merci car vous nous faites rêver .

legend has it that guy is still walking around the ship to this day.
OMG !!! A true treasure for France and her citizens.
Video super ! J'aime le "paying of the seams" et caulking seams aussi et travail avec l'or.
This ship is huge! I never knew they made such huge wooden ships! It sure is awesome! Thank you.
She is a lovely ship but if you think she is huge then have a look at the HMS Victory, much bigger.
Not more 20- 25 metres!
This was incredible to watch and a masterpiece from the past when sailing was an art form as well as a circus performance in the open sea
Wow! Would love to see it in person!
would be nice if they made it an exact replica by not making the deck so tall, but makes sense that they would. Great video!
Génial !! Bravo à tous ceux qui ont participé :D
wahhhh c'est mieux que notre dame , jaimerais tant faire parti de cette equipe et de ce projet , bravo à tous
It took them 10 or plus years to build it , And Im here thinking about building a giant boat by my self ..
Same, I'd like to start smaller though. Maybe a Catamaran with an old wood finish.
I own one . Restor one.
sa'3aa'Tut'R3aa build a little boat first but you could do it
sa'3aa'Tut'R3aa Haha 😂
Ah don't worry about it. It took 10+ years because of a lack of funding. The project was delayed and interrupted multiple times due to the lack of funds.
Luar biasa penguatan pembuatan perahunya sngat profesional,, salam kenal dari Indonesia🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🙏
Can you imagine that foreman actually being from the 18th century and watching that ship being build with powertools like 'what witchcraft is this?!'
Super
this is cool and amazing , but no matter how amazing it is to me it just blows my mind how they built these ships 300 years ago and never mind not having the modern tools we have today , just the fact of these workers didn't have the ability to stay warm and dry during construction , or getting injured OMG !!!

Magnifique réalisation
c'est absolument magnifique !

That's what you'd call real carpentry, a thing of beauty, well done. :-)

Masterful editing!
Brilliant!.. masterpiece!...the most beautiful creation man can possibly build from the wood!
I know that wooden ships are not practical anymore, but please bring them back, they areso beautiful...
Imagine doing this without ANY machines in the 1500 or 1600s.
Cutting, sawing, shaping, lifting etc, all by hand
So inspiring, thank you for this ship. It's gorgeous! And you made a wonderful job!
Imagine how much more work it was to build a square rigger like that in the 1700s
cruzan mongoose...ah, im guessing it would have taken a few more days and maybe a couple more temp workers back then
Super j'ai envie de travailler avec vous un jour
merci c`est formidable,je suis modeliste de navire, voila donc pour nous un aide precieux.
I am awestruck! Congratulations!!
incroyable ont est entrain de vivre a cette epoque
That's how I want France . Country of passion because we have the passion of France 🥰

Fascinating! Very interesting. Show more of the ship and less of the gentleman in the blue coat. Thank you and please post more.
superbe video !!

It took them 10 years to build this ship and the guy running around looks like he hasn’t aged at all
Un superbe exploit que ces gens ont réalisé... Félicitations à tous et toutes.
And to think the Hermione was a small frigate, two hundred years ago shipyards were turning out Frigates & Ships of the Line in relatively large numbers in France, Britain et al without the benefit of electricity. It is awe inspiring to think about.
The French ship "Le Soleil" was twice as long!!
Incredible that was❤
Wow nice !
You return back in time is absolutely fantastic and beautiful
Absolument magnifique
this is amazing work...even more imoressive how they could build these ships so long ago with out the same technology..but i have to say that the guy running around the ship in old fashion clothes looking like a giant dork really kills the vibe and makes it harder to takd it serious lol...none the less, amazing3
Magnifique !
Amazing craftmanship!
There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who know what they are doing and those who don’t. These guys know.
Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!!!
Amazing work
I thoroughly enjoyed this...wow.
just imagine how they built the ship in the olden days
