Savannah's waterfront, seen from the river, is the view that once greeted every ship that came up the Savannah River to the city's bluff. Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe on a high bluff above the water, and for well over a century its cotton warehouses and wharves made the riverfront the heart of its commerce. Vantage points like this one show how closely the city was tied to the river that carried its trade to the Atlantic. The record gives few specifics about this particular view, so the scene is best read as a window onto that working waterfront era.
