The old Savannah riverfront used to be full of cotton warehouses and services for seamen. Nowadays it is a turist place full of restaurants, t-shirt and souvenir shops, and tour guides. There is a great deal of industry but it is out of sight further up the river.


We took the Paddlewheeler Riverboat tour and were fortunate enough to sit in the shaded outdoor upper deck in a nice dining table. A couple of part-time visitors from Pennsylvania asked to join us at the table.

The tour took us upriver in front of large ocean going tanker ships and other cargo ships.
The one below was of Greek registry.



We also passed a luxury yatch production center. These beauties are sleek and luxurious transoceanic cruisers with all the modern communications and navigation electronics.
