Tall Ship Providence Foundation (TSPF) is non-profit created to acquire and operate the Providence, an historically significant replica Tall Ship to be permanently based in Alexandria. The TSPF purchased the ship in September 2017. A year-long restoration is now underway. The Providence will arrive in Alexandria in the Spring of 2019. Once in her new home port, the Providence will serve as a floating classroom for the Alexandria Seaport Foundation and local schools, a dockside visitor attraction, and a venue for private events.

What’s the financial model? . What’s the project timeline look like? . What’s the fundraising strategy? 3 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 3 Why a Tall Ship? The reminders of our maritime heritage -- the Port City -- are all around us. Having our own Tall Ship would… • Enhance the newly redeveloped waterfront with a signature attraction that celebrates our maritime history • Create educational opportunities for children (and adults!) to learn more about Colonial maritime history, and to experience first-hand life aboard an 18th century sailing ship • Host other learning programs, with a special focus on middle school STEM learning through a partnership with the Alexandria Seaport Foundation • Help local retailers and restaurants by adding a proven draw for tourists; beneficial impact for commercial property owners • Serve as a catalyst for future investments in our maritime history 4 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 4 Why the Providence? Historically Significant “Small” Tall Ship • Colonial-era history makes for a compelling • 110’ length overall, 61’ on deck story, relevant to Alexandria • Able to navigate the Potomac River • Unique US Naval history creates links to (9’ draft) other organizations and will help fund raising • Significantly lower operating efforts expenses than larger ships • Still big enough to be a worthwhile attraction Attractive Financials • Ship will arrive fully restored for under $800,000 • Fiberglass hull reduces future maintenance and capital costs • Low break-even costs; multiple, proven revenue streams 5 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 5 Historical Significance The original Providence was built by John Brown, and served as the flagship of the Rhode Island Navy, protecting colonial trade from British harassment. Commissioned into the newly created Navy of the Continental Congress in January of 1775, she went on to play a central role in the American Revolution: • First American ship to fire on a British warship • Sent by George Washington to seize gunpowder in Bermuda • Cleared the Chesapeake Bay of enemy British ships • First command of John Paul Jones, father of the U.S. Navy • Launched US Marines on their first amphibious assault on foreign soil The current ship is a full size, historically accurate replica, built by the Brown family in 1975 to celebrate America’s Bicentennial. John Paul Jones Subsequently owned by the City of Providence, she participated in Tall Ship Regattas and has been used in the filming of The Pirates of the Caribbean, and other movies. 6 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 6 Where will the Providence be docked? Through an arrangement with the City and the Alexandria Seaport Foundation, the Providence will be docked at Waterfront Park, adjacent to the newly created Fitzgerald Square. • Placement is central to Old Town high foot traffic areas, luring more people to local business, parks, and attractions • Visibility from the foot of King Street, Park, Terraces, Marina, Torpedo Factory, and Waterfront Restaurants • Location enables dockside events in the park and easy launch for Providence Potomac River cruises 7 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 7 How will the ship be used? Dockside Tours • Interactive historical immersion on 18th century naval vessel • Led by guides in period clothing discussing the history, technology, and perceptions during the American Revolution Daily Cruises • Public-ticketed cruises to DC or past Mount Vernon • Special theme cruises Educational Programs & Events • Floating classroom for Alexandria Seaport Foundation apprentice and APS middle school math programs • Custom one-day programs to be offered to other area schools Private Events • Dockside private parties, charity events • Chartered cruises for weddings, corporate events, private parties • US Navy retirement ceremonies 8 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 8 What kind of impact will the ship have? Increased civic pride Greater appreciation and understanding of Alexandria’s maritime history Get local school kids on the water and engaged with history Increased Tourism • Direct benefit to restaurants, retail stores and hotels • New asset to help strengthen competitive position vis-a-vis The Wharf, other areas • Ambassador for city at regional Tall Ship events Foster new connections with potential regional partners (Jamestown, Chesapeake Maritime Museum, Sail Norfolk, Independence Seaport-Philadelphia, and others) Positive impact for businesses that support this project Vibrant waterfront also strengthens commercial and residential property values. 9 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 9 Case Study: Hermione Visit (2015) 20,000+ total visitors, 5,250 tickets sold (max capacity) Visitor center traffic up 124% Torpedo Factory visitors up 166% 85.1% June hotel occupancy, best since 2005. Avg Daily Rate up 11% and Revenue per room up 14.3%, both best in region. Similar results with 2016-2017 Tall Ships (Eagle and El Galleon); 2-hour waits to go aboard, and restaurant sales up 50-100%. We know that short term visits from larger ships will naturally draw larger crowds. But the success of these ships’ visits demonstrates the ongoing allure of Tall Ships. 10 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 10 City Support “The effort to bring the Tall Ship Providence to Alexandria is exciting on many levels: The ship will be a fitting, and perfectly timed, addition to our redeveloped waterfront. The Providence will serve as a visible reminder and engaging connection to our maritime history. And the ship will also serve the community as a floating resource for learning and skills development. Last but not least, this project is bringing our entire community together. Businesses, non-profits, residents, and City staff are all aligned and supportive. I am happy to offer my own support to this project, and l look forward to welcoming the Providence to her new home in the Port City.” Allison Silberberg, Mayor “Bringing the Providence to Alexandria would be great for tourism – adding to the City’s new waterfront in way that is authentic to our history. We know that tall ships drive interest and engagement like nothing else and are a top draw for web visits and engagement. They are a magnet for visitors that want an on-the-water experience that is up-close and personal. The ship would also be a unique selling point for meetings and conventions, as well as serving as an ambassador for the City. I have no doubt that the Providence will quickly become an iconic symbol of our historic ‘Port City.’” Patricia Washington, CEO, VISIT ALEXANDRIA 11 Tall Ship Providence Foundation 11 Project Financial Highlights $2M overall project budget Includes healthy allowances and reserves . $789K for acquisition & restoration Includes 50% contingency for overages . $381K for soft costs thru 2020 Includes staff ramp up, 2 years operating deficits . $115K for new floating dock . $723K initial capital reserves Revenue plan calls for 3 year gradual build (50%, 75%, 100%), allowing time to react and adjust as needed.

  • Chronology of the American Revolution
    INTRODUCTION One of the missions of The Friends of Valley Forge Park is the promotion of our historical heritage so that the spirit of what took place over two hundred years ago continues to inspire both current and future generations of all people. It is with great pleasure and satisfaction that we are able to offer to the public this chronology of events of The American Revolution. While a simple listing of facts, it is the hope that it will instill in some the desire to dig a little deeper into the fascinating stories underlying the events presented. The following pages were compiled over a three year period with text taken from many sources, including the internet, reference books, tapes and many other available resources. A bibliography of source material is listed at the end of the book. This publication is the result of the dedication, time and effort of Mr. Frank Resavy, a long time volunteer at Valley Forge National Historical Park and a member of The Friends of Valley Forge Park. As with most efforts of this magnitude, a little help from friends is invaluable. Frank and The Friends are enormously grateful for the generous support that he received from the staff and volunteers at Valley Forge National Park as well as the education committee of The Friends of Valley Forge Park. Don R Naimoli Chairman The Friends of Valley Forge Park ************** The Friends of Valley Forge Park, through and with its members, seeks to: Preserve…the past Conserve…for the future Enjoy…today Please join with us and help share in the stewardship of Valley Forge National Park.

(Z) Continental Congress issues first naval signal in­ structions, regarding the manipulation of sails and the positions from which the ensign and other national flags are flown. 1777 Maritime Committee of the Continental Congress orders commander of an American Squadron to take his force to the British West Indies, formulate such signal pro­ cedures as rrequired to control his ships in battle, and intercept a British merchant fleet leaving Jamaica. 1797 CAPT Thomas Truxtun, USN, issues first known American signal book using numerary system. Ten pennants, made of combinations of red, white, blue and yellow bunting, with flags for repeaters, are used. The volume contains approximately two hundred and ninety signals. (Fog signals are indicated by gun and musket fire, and night signals by lanterns and gunfire.) The Navy officially accepts CAPT Truxtun1 s visual signaling system. 180Z The signal book of Commodore John Barry, USN, and CAPT James Barron, USN, replaces Truxtun1s signal book. This was known as the Barron Signal Book. It was basically the same as CAPT Truxtun1s but more efficiently organized. 1813 Barron Signal Book is revised; substituting flags for pennants and adding shapes. 18Z4 Secretary of the Navy officially assigns responsibility for Naval Communications to the Board of Commissioners. 1847 Navy adopts the Rageus and Black Semaphore Dictionary.
