I was on the Savannah as a young girl. My uncle was a purchasing agent for the line, and brought my cousin's Boy Scout Troop and me to the ship. It was fabulous-I enjoyed the technical side and at the same time the ship was so elegant. I remember a model ship encased in glass in what I believe to be the dining room. We toured as much of the ship that was allowed. I remember standing and looking out at the long bow.
Truly hope the ship is restored to its original beauty, and becomes a museum. Wish it was closer.
