Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum

Housed in the historic Scarborough House (circa 1819), this museum is a fantastic source of information about Savannah's seafaring history. The port city was a major player in the import and export trade, and the ships that sailed its waters were amazing vessels. Many of them are replicated here in models, including the City of Savannah, a 245-foot-long, 38-foot-wide iron hulled vessel that was powered by both sail and by steam. The Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum also features artwork, maritime artifacts, a gift shop, and lovely gardens that feature a variety of camellias, azaleas, magnolias and other native plants.
