The Continental Sloop Providence, a 110' fully rigged sailing vessel, is a faithful replica of John Paul Jones' first command. During her distinguished Naval career in the Revolutionary War, the 12-gun Providence sank or captured 40 British ships!

The mission of the Providence replica is to provide a stage to teach history, the skills of square rig sailing, and teamwork. As part of the Classroom under Sail Program, students are taken out for two and half hour sail and taught how to sail, navigate, teamwork and history.

The Providence is the flagship of the State of Rhode Island and has won the "Best Dressed Vessel" award from the Sailing Ambassador.

Clearwater
Sloop Clearwater

Clearwater is a 106-foot wooden sailing sloop designed after the famous Hudson River sloops of the 19th century. Launched in 1969, Clearwater is the only authentic sloop actively sailing on the Hudson River.

Clearwater serves as a moveable classroom, laboratory, stage, and forum about the Hudson River. Each year, Clearwater accommodates nearly 13,000 children and adults for education sails that teach history, biology, and environmental science and navigation along the Hudson River, New York Harbor and Long Island Sound.
