Why take this tour?

Join us as we welcome David Robinson, Director of the Massachusetts Board of Underwater Archaeological Resources aboard for a 75-minute exploration of the Providence waterways & Green Jacket Shoal. Here, David has found the remains of a historical floating dry dock & 26 wooden-hulled vessels, deemed “Rhode Island’s largest ship graveyard” and a reminder of the industrial fervor that transformed Providence into a thriving commercial waterfront. David's knowledge and experience with Green Jacket Shoal is fascinating and we are thrilled to welcome him back again for the fifth consecutive year! This limited series tour sells out quickly, so reserve your seats soon!
