And your point is... ?

Note the HMS Rose that the Providence was expected to fight has also had
a replica built, designed by Philip Bolger, and recently used in the
movie 'Master & Commander."

It's also worth knowing a little about the Providence's most notable
captain. In fact if you are ever in Annapolis you should definitely take
the time to go to the Naval Academy Chapel... it's beautiful, it's a
stirring monument to the bravery & sacrifice of the Navy throughout our
history, and it's doubly worth visiting John Paul Jones' crypt IMHO.
