Hundreds of visitors line up to board the Hermione, left, berthed with other historic ships on the East River in New York on Friday, July 3, 2015. Hermoine is a replica of the 18th century frigate that brought French General the marquis of Lafayette to America to assist in the war of independence from Britain. It will take part in the July 4th festivities and continue its travels up the East Coast and onto Canada. (© Richard B. Levine)
