This mural represents the U.S.S. Providence, a sloop-of-war in the Rhode Island General Assembly during the American Revolutionary War. Although the U.S.S. Providence ran many successful campaigns during the Revolutionary War, its demise came after becoming scuttled by its crew to avoid falling into the hands of the British. The ship, also known as the Katy, yielded twelve guns, after which the brewery takes its name. In the final composition, we concluded by juxtaposing the ship’s blueprint with the ship in full sail to symbolize the development and realization of the evolution of America during and post-Revolutionary war. Furthermore, the choice of including the blueprint and the final ship mirrored how the brewery became historically tethered: pairing the exposed beer-making process with the final product of the drink. Overall, we wanted to create a composition that was bold in execution and nuanced with significance.
