A Tugboat Tucked Inside the Beautiful Savannah River Street View

Since its founding in 1733, Savannah has been a thriving river port, and Savannah’s River Street wonderfully imparts the city’s infamous old-world charm. The long brick concourse flowing alongside the Savannah River is ideal for strolling through its many small art galleries, shopping its unique boutiques as well as for carefree ship-watching —all, quite naturally, while enjoying its many restaurants and pubs housed inside historic cotton warehouses, each beautifully restored for rustic charm. Often, while walking early mornings on River Street, you may be lucky to find yourself partially lost in a romantic fog that slowly flows lazily eastward down the Savannah River past Tybee Island, continuing far out into the Atlantic Ocean. Traveling from the end of the Savannah River’s shipping channel, about 20 miles out into the Atlantic Ocean, an endless wave of massive cargo-filled ships steam to port. Today, the boats pass by Savannah’s River Street to unload a couple of miles further upstream. My favorite scene is watching the small tugboats assisting in these activities. While sitting across the river near the Savannah Convention Center, I caught in my favorite oil pallet this tug in mid-river tucked inside a perfect Savannah River Street view.
