You'll see Realization, our CD32, on the right side of the video during the first few seconds of the clip. We're flying a bunch of flags from the starboard spreader.

After the flyover, you'll see Joe Karger's CD32 Manitou on the left side of the video. He's flying a blue flag from the starboard spreader (we all were) and a U.S. and French flag from the backstay.

The link below will take you to a video shot by Rick Spilman aboard the schooner Shearwater during the Parade Sail.

The video below is in French, but it has some nice views of l'Hermione as she passes the Statue of Liberty. It's also of high enough resolution to watch it in full screen mode.

It's July 4th, note how I'm dressed! Anyway, this photo was snapped in the parade staging area in Gravesend Bay south of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. Everyone was supposed to be there by 1000. We were early getting there at 0930, but we weren't the only early birds.

l'Hermione anchored in Gravesend Bay getting ready for the parade up the Hudson. The crew set an American flag at the end of every yardarm.

Thanks for posting the photos Cathy! I've been following L'Hermoine since she set sail from France. There are a ton of videos via FB of the adventure. Plus, for those reading yet lurking, yes those are real cannons and they fire them! The ship took 17 years to build. Fabulous photos, thanks millions!
