Caption: The Pioneer TransAtlantic Steamship Savannah Marker
Additional Description: A proud symbol of the ability, the courage, the pioneering spirit, of Captain Moses Rogers and the far - sighted Savannahians who put their faith in a newer means of power. A lone steamship in a world of sail, this staunch vessel departed Savannah May 22, 1819, and arrived in Liverpool, England, June 20, 1819, to become the first steam powered ship to cross the far reaches of the Atlantic Ocean.
