Welcome aboard Alexandria’s newest waterfront attraction. Docked at the Old Town Alexandria waterfront located at 1A Prince St., the tall ship Providence provides a living link to Alexandria’s rich maritime, naval and Revolutionary history. Providence is a reproduction of the first ship authorized to serve in the Continental Navy and John Paul Jones’ first American command. Come aboard to tour the ship, meet a historic figure and get a taste of what life was like aboard an 18th-century sloop. Visitors can also feel the breeze off the Potomac with public and private cruise options or hang out on the dock at the Senator John Warner Maritime Heritage Center.
