Valour fore & aft, being the adventures of the continental sloop Providence, 1775-1779, formerly flagship Katy of Rhode Island's Navy Hardcover – January 1, 1977

Interested in maritime history, naval history or why Rhode Island sailors act as they do ?Well this excellently researched story will keep you intrigued and enlightened as you sail with the sloop Katy (later the Providence) in our fledgling navy.

I gave 3'stars because the book smelled musty from sitting around to long. Everything was in good shape. This book is a great read and as for you ship history buffs you'll like it

This is certainly a book for naval history buffs. I ordered it because my great (times 5) grandfather served aboard this ship. It is an easy read and very interesting to boot!
