Support The french frigate "L' Hermione" launched in 2012 is the replica of the frigate "L' Hermione" launched in 1779, and used in 1780 by La Fayette to cross the ocean again, to join the American Insurgents Army. Still under construction nowadays, this replica is built with the 18th-century's techniques (as far as possible, due to the current navigation rules...), dockyard with the ship are on display in Rochefort-sur-Mer, Charente-Maritime, France. The travel to Boston (MA) is to begin in 2015.-- Jebulon (talk) 16:26, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, I don't think the water reflection works here, or the general composition. The reflection is quite muted and dull, not really symmetrical due to the high position of the camera above the water and there is no water horizon creating a nice horizontal divider. Also, cutting off the mast at a third of the height doesn't work in my opinion. A detail shot of the central element might work (although I'm not sure if it would have the sufficient wow for FP), but this general composition doesn't convince me. — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 09:31, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
