We got off the ferry at the Waving Girl Statue. The waving girl statue is for a Savannah legend, Florence Martis, who greeted passing ships on the Savannah River for 44 years; it is estimated that she welcomed over 50,000 ships in her lifetime.
Walking one block up to Broad Street, was The Pirates House where we had lunch. The oldest house in the state of Georgia. It had been started as an inn for pirates and sailors in 1753 next to the Trustees Garden- the first experimental garden in America. From this garden, the first peach trees in Georgia were grown.
The boys liked their pirate hat menus and pirates walking around the restaurant.
