Providence is a port city and the capital of Rhode Island, founded in 1636.

History[]

Background[]

It was first settled in June 1636 by prominent Baptist Roger Williams and other religious exiles. It was one of the original Thirteen Colonies of the United States.

During King Philip's War between Wampanoag leader Metacomet and the English Colonists, the town of Providence was destroyed by a Native American coalition on March 29, 1676. Providence was one of two major English settlements burned to the ground. After the town was rebuilt, the economy expanded into more industrial and commercial activity.

Season Two[]

After finding Logan and Charlotte are found dead by John Silver, he conspires with Max to tell everyone that the two fled to Providence, where Logan has a brother. The story spreads and most of Nassau believes it[1]

While Anne rests after the incident, Max informs her that anything tying her to the murders is gone. Max assures her that if anyone asks all she need do is say they went to Providence, the same story the rest of the girls at the Inn are spreading. Silver later approaches Max, and she assumed it is about Logan and Charlotte, but Silver says he heard they were in Providence and asks if she heard something else[2]

Mrs. Mapleton learns from Esther that it was said that Logan and Charlotte fled to Providence to start a life together. However, Charlotte entrusted her savings with Mapleton and never came to collect, leading Mapleton to suspect what really happened. Mapleton brings her suspicions to Eleanor Guthrie[3].

Quotes[]

"He went to Providence."

"I'm sorry?"

"Logan was among a number of men who deserted this morning, unwilling to risk dying in a bloody fight to retake the fort, he and his love fled together. I heard he has a brother in Providence. Not surprised that's where he went."

John Silver and Max in XIV.
