Description
Savannah, Georgia has a rich colonial maritime history. However, research of colonial vessels is surprisingly sparse. This thesis analyzes shipbuilding in colonial Georgia and argues that although it often went unrecorded, the construction of small boats was a crucial aspect of colonial Georgia and demonstrates cultural influences from across the Atlantic world.
