Celebrate National Maritime Day on the Nuclear Ship Savannah
Come experience a time capsule of the atomic age – the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the Nuclear Ship Savannah will have an open house on Sunday May 17 as part of the Baltimore Port Alliance’s National Maritime Day commemoration. N.S. Savannah operated as a passenger/cargo ship from 1962-70, serving as a floating ambassador promoting the safe and peaceful use of nuclear power as part of President Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program. A ceremony will be held at 11:30am, and the ship will be open for tours from 10am to 3pm, where you can experience its mid-century modern interiors, engine and control rooms, and other spaces, just as passengers did during its operation. In addition, you can now tour the formerly off-limits containment vessel, which housed the nuclear reactor – truly a unique experience!
As the decommissioning process comes to an end, Savannah is looking for a new home – so don’t miss your opportunity to visit now to learn more about the ship’s future, and how you can be a part of helping to find it a new home!
The ship is located at 4601 Newgate Avenue, Pier 13 at the Canton Marine Terminal, at the same pier as the SS John Brown, which will also be open for tours. There will be offsite parking at Rukert Terminals Corporation, 2300 Broening Hwy (accessible from either Keith Ave of Broening Hwy), with shuttle service to the pier. Follow posted signs or get directions at the pier. Please note no open-toed shoes or heels, and the ship has limited accessibility for those with disabilities.
