Description

"Both the port of Savannah and the colony of Georgia were founded by the English nobleman James Edward Oglethorpe. Leading a contingent of 120 settlers aboard his ship Anne, Oglethorpe crossed the Atlantic Ocean, sailed up the Savannah River, and landed in Savannah in February 1733. The new Georgia colony rapidly expanded inland, and its settlers began to export the new goods and agricultural commodities that they were producing. In 1744, the first dock for ocean-going ships was constructed in Savannah, and within thirty years of the colony's birth, more than a dozen Savannah warehouses lined the river. Ships carried the products of early Georgia rice plantations to the Old World, and returned with English manufactured goods and Mediterranean wines." (propellerclubsavannah)
