Scouts will learn about Providence, the first ship authorized by the Continental Congress to serve in the Continental Navy, and the role she played in the American Revolution. We offer two hands-on educational adventures for Scouts.
Navigation – includes triangulation, an introduction to speed/time/distance calculations and hands-on use of period navigation tools.
Knot Tying – learn how to tie several different knots and their practical applications.
Mechanical Advantage – including an introduction to the physics of sailing, and how simple machines can be used to benefit the sailor.
At this time we are unable to offer sails aboard Providence. All Scouting experiences will take place aboard Providence while the ship is docked.
