Providence is a reproduction of the first ship authorized to serve in the Continental Navy. Our tours are interactive, educational and entertaining. Once our guests "make their mark" they are the newest recruits in the Continental Navy. Their tour guide, a fellow sailor in colonial clothes, distributes cards with job assignments (e.g., purser, master gunner, etc.) and briefs them on the ship and reminds them of the reason they are here. Guests then board Providence and meet Captain John Paul Jones. Once aboard, guests visit the quarterdeck, main deck, Captain's Cabin and the hold. Once the new recruits disembark, they enter our Naval History Theater to view a film, "Providence: Dawn of the U.S. Navy."
