Savannah, a coastal Georgia city, is separated from South Carolina by the Savannah River. It’s known for manicured parks, horse-drawn carriages and antebellum architecture. Its historic district is filled with cobblestoned squares and parks such as Forsyth Park shaded by oak trees covered with Spanish moss. At the center of this picturesque district is the landmark, Gothic-Revival Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist.
Each year Savannah attracts millions of visitors to its cobblestone streets, parks, and notable historic buildings: the birthplace of Juliette Gordon Low (founder of the Girl Scouts of the USA), the Georgia Historical Society (the oldest continually operating historical society in the South), the Telfair Academy of Arts and Sciences (one of the South's first public museums), the First African Baptist Church (one of the oldest African-American Baptist congregations in the United States), Temple Mickve Israel (the third oldest synagogue in America), and the Central of Georgia Railway roundhouse complex (the oldest standing antebellum rail facility in America).
Savannah's downtown area, which includes the Savannah Historic District, the Savannah Victorian Historic District, and 22 parklike squares, is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in the United States (designated by the U.S. government in 1966). Downtown Savannah largely retains the original town plan prescribed by founder James Oglethorpe (a design now known as the Oglethorpe Plan). Savannah was the host city for the sailing competitions during the 1996 Summer Olympics held in Atlanta.
Savannah is known as the 'Hostess City of the South' – and a good hostess will stuff you to the gills with all things battered and fried before sending you on your merry way. This is a city where people come to indulge in decadent, traditional Southern and soul food, but top chefs are also reimagining things with a 'New South' cuisine, where classic themes and ingredients meet innovative preparations. With Savannah's proximity to the ocean, seafood features heavily on most menus, and good grub doesn't stop at Southern staples – fans of diverse international fare can find great options, too.
Dubbed the Creative Coast (with a local entrepreneurial organization of the same name), Savannah boasts a vibrant arts and design scene that's fueled not only by the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), one of the finest art schools in the country with students and faculty from far and wide; but also bolstered by the natives and transplants whose initiatives make the arts more inclusive and accessible. From superb museums and galleries in the Historic District to the Starland section between Midtown and the Victorian District catering to locally crafted pursuits, creativity is the lifeblood coursing through Savannah's artsy heart.

Walking Around Inside Old Fort Jackson in Savannah, Georgia
When the Union Army commanded by William T. Sherman captured Savannah by land on December 20, 1864, Confederate troops abandoned the fort and retreated across the Savannah River into South Carolina. Confederate troops from Savannah joined other forces in North Carolina and South Carolina and continued to fight until April 26, 1865, when they surrendered to General Sherman's army at Durham, North Carolina. Several different regiments garrisoned Fort Jackson during the Union occupation of Savannah. One of these units was the 55th Massachusetts Regiment, which consisted of African American troops.[3]

Savannah's Rising Seas
This map shows the areas in and around Savannah, GA that would be inundated by a flood three feet higher than a large local high tide. It therefore serves as a crude indicator of lands vulnerable to a 3-foot sea level rise, without considering factors like shifting currents, sediment deposits, or salt marshes that may complicate the exact location of the future shoreline. The map also leaves out the full extent of vulnerable land because it does not include updated flood risk areas from storms on top of sea level rise. Most current research projects a global average sea level increase between two and five feet by 2100.
According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Coastal Services Center, uring coastal floods today when water reaches a level 1.5 feet below the level depicted on this map.
Water level on the map is 11.5 feet above mean lower low water (MLLW) at Fort Pulaski, GA. (MLLW is a standard reference measure for low tide.) The highest Fort Pulaski tide most months is between 8.5 and 8.7 feet above MLLW, and the NOAA warning just above corresponds to 10 feet above MLLW — still referenced to the Fort Pulaski tidal gauge. NOAA's Coastal Services Center developed the flood layer shown here based on a 6-inch vertical resolution elevation map of the Savannah area, produced by laser fly-over measurements conducted for the Chatham Emergency Management Agency. A NOAA Coastal Services Center website provides a Coastal Innundation Toolkit provides additional information on flood and storm surge scenarios (including for Chatham County, GA). The shallow coastal flooding scenarios factor in only sea level and land elevation — a method also commonly used to illustrate areas vulnerable to long-term sea level rise.1
Background imagery for this map comes via Google Earth. Inundation has not been modeled or represented in the very upper right and lower left hand corners. The water in these corners reflects tide at an unknown stage.

Driving Historic River Street, Savannah, Georgia
Driving Historic River Street, Savannah, GA.
Complete Drive Of River Street, West Driving to River Street East From one end to the other.
River Street is a glittering, multi-faceted gem along the broad Savannah River. The century old buildings, once cotton warehouses, have been converted to antique shops, distinctive boutiques, spectacular galleries, quaint brew pubs, fabulous restaurants, unique nightspots, elegant inns and hotels. Bustling with welcoming hospitality, it’s also the place to see Savannah from the river that made her by taking a cruise or watching ships from around the globe sail into one of the busiest ports in America.
The Savannah River is a major river in the southeastern United States, forming most of the border between the states of South Carolina and Georgia. Two tributaries of the Savannah, the Tugaloo River and the Chattooga River, form the northernmost part of the border. The Savannah River drainage basin extends into the southeastern side of the Appalachian Mountains just inside North Carolina, bounded by the Eastern Continental Divide. The river is around 301 miles (484 km) long. It is formed by the confluence of the Tugaloo River and the Seneca River. Today this confluence is submerged beneath Lake Hartwell. The Tallulah Gorge is located on the Tallulah River, a tributary of the Tugaloo River that forms the northwest branch of the Savannah River.
Two major cities are located along the Savannah River: Savannah, and Augusta, Georgia. They were nuclei of early English settlements during the Colonial period of American history.
The Savannah River is tidal at Savannah proper. Downstream from there, the river broadens into an estuary before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean. The area where the river's estuary meets the ocean is known as Tybee Roads. The Intracoastal Waterway flows through a section of the Savannah River near the city of Savannah.

Savannah – eine süße Stadt mit viel historischem Charme!
Von Kathrin Kana
Eine der schönsten Städte in ganz Georgia, und möglicherweise der gesamten USA, ist unbestritten das kleine Savannah mit ihren vielen kleinen Plätzen, einer tollen und belebten Flußuferstraße, schönen Geschäften auf der Broughton Street und historischen Denkmälern und Gebäuden, die die interessante Geschichte dieser ältesten Stadt Georgias erzählen. Nicht zu vergessen sind auch die vielen Spukgeschichten, die man hier hört…
Franklin Square und die First African Baptist Church
Zuerst schaute ich mir den Franklin Square an, der nach Benjamin Franklin benannt ist. 1790 gebaut ist dieser Platz am westlichsten gelegen. Gleich nebenan besuchte ich die First African Baptist Church, die seit 1777 existiert. Hier sah ich originale Kronleuchter und Bänke, die erste Orgel Georgias und andere historische Gegenstände, die ins 18. Jh. zurückdatieren. Am spannendsten allerdings sind die Fußbodenlöcher, die zur Beatmung fliehender Sklaven der Underground Railroad dienten. Versuchend, aus der Sklaverei auszubrechen und gen Norden zu reisen, versteckten sie sich unter dem Fußboden in Orten wie dieser Kirche und warteten auf ihren nächsten Abschnitt.
Genüßlich Shoppen auf der Broughton Street
Nur ein paar kleine Straßen weiter Richtung Süden kam ich dann auf die Broughton Street. Hier gibt es wirklich die allersüßesten Läden, Restaurants und Cafes. Meine Favoriten waren The Paris Market, wo man Haushaltswaren mit französischem Flair bekommt; die Savannah Bee Company, wo ich unterschiedliche Honigsorten und Bienenwaben mit Apfel und Käse probierte (köstlich!); und 24e Design Co. für modernes Wohnen. Zwischendurch eine kleine Stärkung beim Coffee Fox und weiter gings!
Piraten, Geister und die River Street
Nach langem Shopping hat man Hunger und ich war begeistert vom Pirates House, eine ehemalige Seefahrer- und Piratentaverne, in der es seit 1753 Speis und Trank gibt! Das urige Äußere und die vielen verschachtelten Speiseräume lassen erahnen, wie es damals wohl zuging. Das in Piratenmontur bekleidete Personal gab Touren, und unsere Kellnerin kannte sich bestens mit Spukgeschichten aus, wie die über den kleinen Jungen, der oben lebte. Die Speisekarte bot für jeden etwas, und wer Lust auf ein piratiges Andenken hat, sollte auf jeden Fall den reichhaltigen Souvenirladen im oberen Stock besuchen.
Anschließend kann man gerne noch auf einen Drink oder live Musik zur River Street gehen, denn da ist eigentlich immer was los. Heute ein lebhaftes Flußufer, kamen hier damals die Schiffe aus England an, um Baumwolle abzuholen, und hatten auf dem Herweg Kopfsteinpflaster als Ballast dabei, das dann hier die Hafenstraße füllte. Der Factors Walk gleich dahinter ist ein interessantes Überbleibsel aus der Zeit des Baumwollmarktes.
Das Davenporthaus und Oglethorpes Statue
Nicht weit von hier findet man ein wunderschönes historisches Haus, das im Stil der 1820 Jahre wiederhergestellt ist, das Davenport-Haus. Unsere Besichtigung mit einer sehr lustigen und lebhaften Führerin brachte uns die Geschichte von Savannah näher und ich war beeindruckt von der sehr detaillierten Restaurationsarbeit, die sogar eine Auszeichung der Regierung bekam. Für Geschichtsliebhaber definitiv empfehlenswert!
Und wer sich an den Film “Forest Gump” erinnert, hat vielleicht Lust an den Chippewa Platz zu gehen, wo die Parkbankszene gedreht wurde. Georgias Gründer, General James Oglethorpe, ist hier in einer Statue verewigt.
Savannah ist eine wirklich tolle Stadt, mit Geschichte, Kultur, Entertainment, Musik und Charme – ein absolutes MUSS! Verpassen Sie es nicht, sondern buchen Sie jetzt!

U.S. Custom House - Savannah, GA
The U.S. Custom House in Savannah is the scene of numerous historic African American stories.
After Reconstruction, some of the first appointments of blacks to government jobs were made in this building. They were appointed to positions including custom officers, postal clerks and letter carriers. The federal court in the Custom House also heard several cases of slave-running from the yacht Wanderer.
Col. John Deveaux, an African American, was made customs collector by President William McKinley in 1898. Deveaux would hold this top position until his death in 1909.
The stunning Greek Revival style building was constructed in 1848. The building at 1 E. Bay Street now houses U.S. Customs and Border Protection offices.
