Summary

[edit]
Description Col. Thomas Tickner hosted a kick-off event to mark the beginning of construction on the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project Jan. 29 at Old Fort Jackson in Savannah, Georgia. The first action begun under the construction phase of the expansion is the recovery of the CSS Georgia ironclad from the floor of the Savannah River. “This event marks the first construction work on the Savannah Harbor Expansion project. We are marking today as the first tangible sign of deepening this harbor,” Tickner said. “This marks a major milestone toward making this harbor more efficient. It is the key to unlocking so much of the infrastructure already built or planned for the next generation.” The SHEP will deepen the Savannah harbor and the associated shipping channel from an authorized depth of 42 feet to 47 feet. This deepening will allow larger, more efficient container vessels to use the east coast’s second busiest container harbor with fewer weight and tidal restrictions. The Savannah District awarded the initial contract for recovery of the CSS Georgia to Dial Cordy and Associates of Jacksonville, Florida. Panamerican Consultants of Memphis, Tennessee will conduct field work. Other phases will follow including recovery of major pieces of the ironclad by the U.S. Navy. The Navy owns the Georgia which is designated a “captured enemy vessel.”
