CASTINE — With cannons firing, a French flag flying and an enraptured audience on shore, the Hermione made its way into Castine this afternoon, accompanied by many other vessels.

The boat’s a replica of the frigate that came to Boston during the Revolutionary War with news that the French would assist the young U.S. army.

More than 200 feet long, it made for a dramatic site,entering the Castine Harbor just as the sun was breaking through a layer of gray fog. Soon, it and other accompanying ships were firing cannons, and smoke was drifting towards shore.

Eventually the blue-and-gold ship pulled up to the town dock. In front of a large crowd, the mostly French-speaking crew disembarked. A parade down Main Street soon followed.
