Tall Ship Providence. This little painting has a little history and story tied to it. 🌊 ✨

Originally named Katy, she was one of a fleet of ships owned by John Brown of Providence, Rhode Island. Records of the ship’s voyages start in 1769 and show that Katy was used as a merchant ship, privateer, and whaler in its early years.

In June 1775, Katy became the flagship of the tiny Rhode Island Navy, created to protect the interests of Rhode Island merchants against British naval captains. These captains were aggressively enforcing British tax laws that fell heavily on the maritime trade that made up a large portion of the Rhode Island economy. Realizing that their two-ship navy could never truly protect their interests, in August the General Assembly requested that Rhode Island’s representatives in the Continental Congress initiate legislation calling for the formation of a Continental Navy.

After a great deal of debate, on October 13th, 1775, legislation was passed authorizing the purchase of Katy and another ship to serve as the first ships of a new Continental Navy. The passage of this legislation is why October 13th is still celebrated as the birthday of the U.S. Navy today.

As Katy was on another mission at the time, four other ships were commissioned before Katy arrived in Philadelphia to be refitted for service. When the ship was commissioned, it was renamed Providence in honor both of its city of origin and the fact that all the Rhode Island delegates to the Continental Congress were from Providence.

A reconstruction of this beautiful ship is based in Alexandria VA. I wasn’t able to tour her or go on a day sail due to repairs being done, but someday I will! 💖 The reconstructed Providence has her own story as well, you can check it out here! - https://tallshipprovidence.org/providence-rebuilt/

I think it's time for a reintroduction! ☕

Hi, I'm Shianna. I am a self-taught acrylic artist fueled by tea. I am based in West Virginia and specialise in landscapes, seascapes, and tiny paintings. I love history, sailboats, walking in nature, and spending time with family. I grew up in an artistic family and have experimented with different mediums and creative paths. However, I keep coming back to acrylics and painting. In 2024 I took a step in my creative path and decided to pursue my art as a profession and business. I am influenced by impressionism and experimentation, and inspired by imagination. I almost always have a cup of tea by my side and my sweet kitty cat Rue. Thanks for stopping by! 🤍

A big thank you to my very talented friend for taking these pictures! ✨
