Isn't it strange, Surprise was the former French ship Unite. Which cut out the Hermoine who's crew had mutinied and sailed the ship into Spanish La Guayra. Capt. Edward Hamilton went in with the boats boarded the Hermoine, killed 119 of her crew, wounded 90. Sailed her away. The mutineers were hung at the yardarm.

I never realised just how much skill is required with tall ships until I witnessed the Pheonix coming into Charlestown harbour as a child. How they used ropes and bollards on the harbour walls to swing the ship into inner harbour. Amazing and breathtaking to watch... as a 50 year old I've seen the Pheonix do it many times since that first time, but it still never fails to take my breath away. If you think of a Capital L with a broken and bent back upright, that's Charlestown harbour in Cornwall where I'm from. When the Pheonix comes in she uses ropes to swing around. It's amazing to watch, and makes you appreciate the FULL beauty of those amazing boats up close and personal. To see her come along side the harbour wall after doing that zig zag with the ropes, mind blowing... So much appreciation for anyone who sails on these beautiful ships!

Where are you located? There are a few ships like this around the U.S.. here in North Carolina, there is one on the coast, and in Kinston NC, there is a ironclad on land built by an older gentleman that you can walk around it and look it over up close. He built using hand tools and old time technology. The one on the coast is a sailing ship, from like 1400s. There also several sailing vessels that are original 1800 and early 1900 built. Also check out pirate days in Hampton VA.

Not only at sea, french did beat the British fleet at cheasepeake bay, twice (even if the first fight was more a draw and a british withdraw)... But french diplomacy, french land army, french navy and french state money won it for USA. In Yorktown, the french land army was more numerous than the american one. The plan was French, Washington which was a good leader of men was a poor strategist, and wanted to walk on NY with the French best regiments, but Rochambeau, the chief of the french expeditionary force convinced him to change his plan and instead of trying to win an unprobable victory against NY and Clinton, the french general proposed to fight and corner Cornwallis army which was in a more doubtful position (strategically speaking) ... Then French and Americnas won a far more evident and far more decisive battle with only few losses in Yorktown. We have to look back, French diplomacy managed to involve Dutch and Spanish in the war, at a very hice price in term of debt. They obliged British to make war all around the earth and British weren't able to send any reinforcement. especially, france had done a great effort to have, for the first and alone time in History, a navy able to match British one. Valley Forge would have been a disaster without the french help also, Washington was near to give up then. the firs oppônent to british durring this war was not american continental army, nor the minutemen, it was the French and that, by far. In comparison, it goes farer than the WWII western allies action, as WWII was already lost for Germans in june 1944. The Red army was outrageously dominating the Ghost of the Wehrmacht then. US/UK/Can troops permitted only to share in a better way Europe with USSR. Without DDay, USSR would have taken Europe till the Pyrennean mountains and the North of Italy.

It took 17 years for her construction (instead of 11 months for the original Hermione) after extensive research for the plans and relearn the old traditional techniques of marine construction, 2000 oak trees, three masts, 1500m3 of linen sails, 16km of more than a dozen different types of hemp ropes which had to be coated with tar to prevent rotting, etc. The only concessions to our modern era imposed by law for health and safety, an engine, a generator, toilets, and a fitted kitchen. Now the crew of 78 inexperienced people, 56 of them volunteered to take part in the maneuvers (gabier = topman), 15 professionals from the French Navy, and 7 technicians and journalists training for 3 months in the Atlantic in all weather conditions before the crossing to the USA. What a feat!

Ihr Bau dauerte 17 Jahre (anstelle von 11 Monaten für die ursprüngliche Hermine) nach umfangreichen Recherchen für die Pläne und das Wiedererlernen der alten traditionellen Techniken des Schiffbaus, 2000 Eichen, drei Masten, 1500 m3 Leinensegel, 16 km von mehr als ein Dutzend verschiedene Arten von Hanfseilen, die mit Teer beschichtet werden mussten, um Fäulnis zu verhindern usw. Die einzigen gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Zugeständnisse an unsere moderne Zeit für Gesundheit und Sicherheit, einen Motor, einen Generator, Toiletten und eine Einbauküche. Jetzt die Besatzung von 78 unerfahrenen Leuten, von denen 56 freiwillig an den Manövern in Masten teilnehmen (gabier), 15 Fachleute der französischen Marine und 7 Techniker und Journalisten, die vor der Reise nach Amerika 3 Monate lang im Atlantik bei allen Wetterbedingungen trainiert haben.

18th century navies were horrifically expensive. Britain and France had by far the largest fleets and both the American and French Revolutions were mainly caused by reactions to tax raising efforts to pay for these ships. On the plus side the huge logistical programs to support the respective navies gave a big boost to the nascent Industrial Revolution.
