Historic Nuclear Ship Savannah Public Site Visit! See the ship discussed in our upcoming Sept. 5 SAME DC Post First Friday Webinar – N.S. Savannah: Decommissioning a Nuclear Powered Ship in the Context of Historic Preservation.
About the Tour:
The world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the Nuclear Ship Savannah will have a public site visit on Saturday, August 23. The ship will be open from 10am to 3pm, where you can experience its mid-century modern interiors, engine and control rooms, and other spaces, just as passengers and visitors did during its operation.
In addition, you can now take a self-guided tour of the containment vessel, which housed the nuclear reactor – truly a unique experience. The SS John Brown will also be open for tours, but it is recommended that you visit Savannah first if you wish to sign-up for tours of the engine room. Savannah and John Brown are located at 4601 Newgate Avenue, Pier 13 at the Canton Marine Terminal. Please note no open-toed shoes, and the ship has limited accessibility for those with disabilities.
