Men watch and think
Hell Yeah...
A replica of the French frigate Hermione, a historic 18th-century ship that brought the Marquis de La Fayette to America to support the rebels in the American Revolutionary War. The replica was built in Rochefort, France, and launched in 2014.
The original Hermione was a 32-gun Concorde-class frigate designed for speed. It was one of the first copper-hulled ships in the French Navy.
The replica of the Hermione is as faithful to the original as possible, with an oak hull, a length of over 65 meters, and a sail area of 1200 square meters. However, it also features technological improvements, such as the need to operate the ship with 80 sailors instead of the 200 required in the 18th century.
The Hermione is a symbol of Franco-American friendship.

A century and a half in the service: what were the Russian archers armed with
In 1550, Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible, by his order, established a new structure - the Streltsy army. Instead of pishchik militias for the first time in the domestic stories a regular army was created to fight with the help of cold and firearms weapons. For the next one and a half centuries archers became the most important component of the army. To solve combat missions, the archers had to rely on a developed weapons complex, which improved as the service continued.
Fiery fight
The main objective of the archers, as well as their predecessors, was the firing on the enemy troops. To solve this problem at different times, the archery army was armed with squeakers and muskets of different classes and types. According to available historical sources and archaeological finds, one can observe the development processes of small arms of the troops.
