Additional Tickets to Tour L'Hermione Are Available

If you missed your chance to get tickets to tour L’Hermione – a replica of General Lafayette’s 18th-century ship — there’s still a way to get aboard.

A very limited number of public tickets to tour the top deck of the ship will be distributed at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 11 and Friday, June 12 at the dock, but strict rules on the occupancy limit at all times must be adhered to ensure public safety. These free tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with a limit of one ticket per person.

• Read here about planned activities surrounding the visit, in the City at historic sites, venues and restaurants.

If possible, stand-by tickets may also be offered on each day, if previously issued tickets are not presented within the applicable tour time, but this cannot be guaranteed. However, dockside exhibits, demonstrations and performances are open to the public at all times (no ticket needed). Free! 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

L’Hermione is a three-masted, 177-feet long ship where you can enjoy rope-making and sail-making demonstrations by the crew. You can also stroll through the Heritage Village along the waterfront where you will see exhibits, living history characters and more.

Public tours of the ship are available by free timed tickets that have been previously distributed.
