Many people don’t realize that Savannah has the 4th largest container port in the United States. At 42 feet deep, the Savannah River can take 98% of the world’s ships, which means we can bring in and take out a lot of merchandise. For those who like ships, one of the most awesome sights is to sit on River Street and watch these monsters come in and out. Every Friday, the Savannah Morning News Newspaper publishes a list of ships scheduled to come in and out of the harbor, and the Concierge at Tybee Vacation Rentals keeps that schedule handy, as well.
Go to River Street, order a take-out sandwich and some fantastic candy at River Street Sweets (they’ll give free samples of Pralines, a pecan and caramel, sugary treat), and sit and watch the River and the ships. You can also see the Tugs that help the ships come in and out of the Savannah Harbor. Better yet, take the ferry across to Hutchinson Island (costs about $1) and experience life on the River yourself.
