A Symbol Of Hope
As the Capital City, and heart of the state's maritime commerce, it is only fitting that Rhode Island's state flagship, the OLIVER HAZARD PERRY, should have a permanent presence in Providence, proudly visible to hundreds of thousands of people daily, as she stands as an icon of the Ocean State.
