The Continental Sloop Providence appears in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."
In January of 2005, the Providence sailed to Alabama so that the ship could be prepared for her role. She then sailed to St. Vincent and the Grenadines for filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest". The film opened on July 7, 2006.

The Providence appears in a number of scenes in "Dead Man's Chest". She is in the background as a British vessel in the harbor of Port Royal and as a pirate ship at the dock in Tortuga. Her best scene is as a merchant vessel from which Captain Jack Sparrow's hat is retrieved. The merchant ship then suffers the fate of being destroyed by a sea monster, the Kraken!
