Savannah, a seaport and city of Georgia, U.S.A., stands on the right bank of the Savannah river, 18 miles from its mouth. A very large trade is done in the harbour - cotton, rice, timber, resin, and turpentine being the chief exports, whilst manufactured goods are imported in great quantities. Savannah was captured by Sherman in 1864.
