The Poor Continental Sloop Providence

We here in Rhode Island are experiencing the days after a blizzard.  It feels as if the entire area has been wracked, reset.  A winter hurricane with lots of snow.

If you're a student of United States Naval history I highly recommend the book "Valor Fore and Aft:  Being the Adventures of the Continental Sloop Providence" written by Hope S. Rider.
