The Russians have parked a replica of an eighteenth century frigate just outside our apartment in Brittany. This is the Shtandart, a reproduction of a typical frigate of the early 1700's, which has been denied access to the port of Brest due to the war in Ukraine. I might paddle out or a closer look if it's still there tomorrow?
A handsome vessel. It's a shame politics gets in the way of cultural exchanges.
