Providence is the sole tall ship in the Washington, DC region. This vessel is a faithful replica of the first ship commissioned by the Continental Congress to become part of the Continental Navy in the battle against Great Britain. Additionally, it was the inaugural ship to join Rhode Island’s navy, making it the first of the American Colonies to engage in naval warfare.
Throughout the war, Providence earned a reputation for being swift and fortunate, thanks in large part to the bold actions of her captain, the renowned John Paul Jones.
