Brief history about the USS Providence:
The USS Providence was a single-masted
sloop equipped with ten cannons and
typically manned by about 80 crew members.
Originally named the Katy, she was acquired
by the United States Navy in 1775, becoming
one of the first naval ships of the US.
The USS Providence served until 1779,
when she was trapped and scuttled by
her crew during the Battle of Penobscot Bay
to avoid capture.
During her brief service of less than
four years, the USS Providence, operating
alone or in small fleets, captured over
twenty British naval or commercial vessels,
achieving a distinguished record.
