4. Gershum Justin served as a Seaman onboard the USS Providence during the Revolutionary War.
The Rhode Island delegates to the Continental Congress next moved to create a Federal navy. The Colony's General Assembly instructed its delegates to the Continental Congress to introduce a resolution in favor of a continental navy. The Congress adopted this resolution, and authorized the fitting out of two vessels to interdict British trade.
The so-called "Rhode Island Plan" to construct thirteen frigates for the new Continental Navy was enacted in December of 1775. One of these ships was the aforementioned KATY, which was then renamed PROVIDENCE .
This is the ship that became the first command of a young John Paul Jones , acknowledged as the "Father of the American Navy." The PROVIDENCE was also noted for being the first ship to land U.S. Marines for combat, in March, 1776. Unfortunately, the original ship was scuttled in Penobscot Bay in August, 1779. Those who frequent Narragansett Bay today often see a replica of this vessel , the pride of the Yankee navy, making its way up and down the Bay in the summer months.
