What The Ship What Savannah Georgia Looks Like Onboard One Of the World's Largest Container Ships 

Made it to the end with no problem. Never seen Savannah from this perspective!

I know that river pilot! Mr. Patrick is doing a great job!

As a local Savannah resident, it was great to see our wonderful city from a different perspective. Thank you for posting this video.

The dredge ship you see is the cutter suction dredge Hampton Roads. She has been working in the port for several years deepening the port for large container ships. They started a port expansion project in the late 2010s and are finished with the main project but keep finding parts they want to further deepen. When you have rival ports like Norfolk going to 56 feet so that the large ships don’t have to wait on tide and such, the port business is very competitive. With that said, the Port of Savanna has grown significantly and is now the 3rd busiest container port in the US. In addition to good port facilities, it had both good rail and road connections. Little wonder it has grown so much.

Way back in the early 90's when the Raddison was just built,my ex-wife and I took the kids for a few days to Savannah.We had a 7th floor balcony room and I loved sitting out watching the river traffic and tug boats!

Savannah has really changed since I was there. Thanks for the great video.. Yep made it to the end...

Nice video. Always have enjoyed visiting Savannah and watching the ships go by on the river.

I lived in Savannah for 10 years until the spring of 2021 - this was a cool way to see this. I use to fly my drone up and down the river as well. Got some great shots of the river at 400 feet🌴

Great video, am a native of Savannah, now living in NC. Have been to the port a number of times, and up and down the river with Captain Sam, I believe was his name. My grandfather was a retired Merchant Marine Captain, and during my HS years volunteered with the local Preist to pick up sailors that played soccer against the Savannah team to get off the ship and have some recreational time. I got to go along and was invited to tour a few ships. Those were the days.

Docking a ship safely is no joke. I'm always amazed how they do it.

I was in Savannah back in 2008, I remember seeing the ships coming into the channel not too far from where I was staying, beautiful city, lots of history, made it till the end.

Wow! The turning to the berth was wild!

Made it to the end...awesome

Interesting to see the Savannah river walk from this perspective. Also, great navigating by all involved . Thank you !

Made it to the end. Did skip ahead (and back) occasionally. The rotation of the ship was awesome!

To the end! Great video.

I made it to the end. Thanks for the ride up river.

Love Savannah, its my hometown.

Made it to the end. Great video. As everyone else has mentioned, always enjoy going to Savannah and just watching the ships come in. Nice change up to see it from the cargo ship perspective.

Nice ride into Port Wentworth. Perspective we would otherwise never see. Thanks!

Made it to the end. What a difference the view is from the bridge deck. I love our beautiful city. This just added another great view. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your time in our hostess city the week before.

This so very interesting. I live 55 miles from Savannah and love watching ships come in and out. I took a trip down the river on the John W. Brown (a Liberty ship) back in 2002.

Very cool. So neat to see the ships pass by river street. Would be awesome to see this view.

Made it to the end. I’ve enjoyed visiting Savannah and watching the ships come and go. Good video. Really enjoyed the part in the turning basin.

That was an incredible video. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I live in Savannah, so this was VERY interesting to me!! I see these ships coming and going all of the time (I LOVE to sit on that beach on the river at Fort Pulaski and watch these beasts go by!!), but I never get to see them approach the dock! VERY cool!!!

Made it to the end. I live 30 miles outside Savannah. Visit often. Fish and just joy ride the Savannah River often. One time near River Street one of these beasts passed us in our 20ft Bonita. Looks like they are barely moving in the video but, in our tiny boat the wake thats made from these are awesome.

Awesome video 👍. Thanks for sharing!!!

Informative and relaxing.

Been to Savannah many times and seen the great ships. Thnks for posting!

Made it to the end... thanks for the great video.

Made it to the end. Awesome video.

Great view!

love Savannah, great video

Wonderful,thanks.

Great perspective. Love ship life.

I live about 34 miles from Savannah in South Carolina. I've always enjoyed watching large ships.This is the first video I've seen of a large ship entering the Savannah River and getting to their mooring at the pier. I'm impressed. I hear that the Georgia Ports Authority is planning on raising the deck of the Hermatige Bridge to allow even larger ships to pass under it. I am interested to know how engineers plan on that.

Mighty tight squeeze turning that boat around in the Kings Island Turning Basin .

Made it to the end!

I love watching the ships transit past downtown. Ita incredible to me how the little river can carry these beasts! And also when they go by theyre often larger than the buildings and its insane!

Awesome... thank you for this. If you're ever back in Savannah, stop in my favorite River Street seafood restaurant - Fiddler's Crab House. They've got an upper-deck outdoor dining patio where you can watch these ships as they pass.

Watched to the end. That’s neat stuff.

That was cool. I have been on riverstreet and watched these big ships come in. I loved the view.

Pretty dang amazing, very cool view from the top deck.

Made it to the end….lol!!! This is great as one of my favorite things to do in Tybee Island is watch the container ships go in and out of the mouth of the Savanah river. Will be back there in October.

I enjoy Savannah and this was a great unique view of the city and of the port. Thanks for sharing and yep, watched till the end of the video!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing! Yep, made it to the end. 😊

I visited Savannah a few years ago, and my jaw dropped while sitting outside at one of the riverside restaurants and a container ship came downriver. The river didn’t appear wide enough for something so big. What an amazing site.

Super Video. Made it to the end.

Outstanding video! And thanks for your knowledgeable input. Just the right length and amount of commentary.

I made it to the end. That is a big ship.

Wow fantastic! Appreciate this view so much.

Made it to the end. Brings back memories.

I made it to the end! I love savannah, I think it was 2002 when I was there. I got to visit the fort and eat on the historic river street.

Very impressive footage!!!

Made it to the end. I especially liked the part going under the bridge.

After watching those giant container ships pass by our hotel room on a visit to Savannah three years ago, it was fascinating to finally see things from the other side. Thanks!

Really enjoyed the video and watched till the end.

I toured Savannah in 2021 and stayed right next to River Street. A few months later I toured Tybee Island and caught a massive container ship inbound, the Maersk Saltoro.

I've made that same trip on a 20ft skiff but never a ship. That was awesome!!!!

Made it to the end as very interesting how our goods make it to our shores. Thank you for posting that video!

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!

Just amazing. Stayed in Savannah last year right on the river. Watching these amazing ships as they slowly inched under the bridge was amazing. Especially watching them at night. What an amazing sight to see and such maneuvering skills. Can't wait to go back.

I enjoyed this video

just Amazin

Made it to the end, informative slice of life video. Never seen river street from that angle.

Great video glad I watched the whole thing very interesting thanks

Cool video! My husband was a deckhand, then wheelman on Crescent tugs in Savannah. He retired in 2018. I’ve been able to ride the tugboat and see the work from that perspective, but never from the ship! My brother-in-law and father-in-law were both river pilots in Savannah.

Yes, watched it all the way to the end. Impressive, thank you.

Very cool. Thanks for posting.

Not sure which I appreciate more. That big beautiful ship or those mighty mite little workhorse tugs.

Been there , awesome video thank you, nice place to visit and take a river boat cruise.

hope to be on there in a few years!

Thanks for the journey up the Savannah River. Great Video

Great video, thanks for sharing

Made it to the end. This was an awesome video so I’ll take a look at your other posts as well. You and Chief Makoi do a good job educating us landlubbers on the inner workings of commercial shipping. Way to go.

Loved the video. Made it to the end. I enjoyed Savannah when we were there.

Loved it. Thanks

Super cool video! Watched all of it

Thanks for sharing. Very interesting and educational.

Pretty cool with great views.

Wonderful video. I grew up near Savannah and my Dad worked at the Diamond Construction shipyard where some Moran tugs were built in the 1960's. It amazing to see what has changed and what remains after all these years. Thank you.

Very interesting , Thanks!

made it to the end! Thanks for posting,, that was awesome. We turned the GPA by small boat a while back that was a great tour also. Nice job!

Great job! Yep, we saw it all. Snugged it right in there.

I live in Savannah and have always wanted to know what it's like. Very cool.

Great video, I work on the containers and chassis at Mercedes Benz in Tuscaloosa Al. I've been working RR pig yards and RR cars all my life.

Great video! I love Savannah! First time from the ships bridge. Cool beans!

Amazing. Have been to Savanah a number of times, but had no idea of what goes on up there river.

I work This port every day very interesting to see up close .. thank you and be safe ....

I spend a lot of time on that river walk just to watch the ships come and go

To the END. And loved it!!

Yes, made it to the end. Thanks for the video!

Loved the video! I watched it through to the end.

Really interesting. I have seen a lot of videos of ships at sea but never through the docking process from the bridge view.

When I was in Savannah, the largest cargo ship that came by during my visit was the OOCL and it was huge and plus I spotted the tug boats the same one in the video that was going next to the OOCL

that was cool , i have seen many ships enter savannah but not like this

Awesome

Very well done & interesting 👍👍👍👍🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

I enjoyed the whole thing! I even subscribed.
