An elevated view down the Savannah River past the city's waterfront, with red-brick commercial blocks and wharf buildings lining the riverbank and a sign reading "SEABOARD AIR LINE RAILWAY" on the nearest block; sailing vessels and river craft lie at the docks beyond. Savannah was one of the great cotton ports of the South, and the Seaboard Air Line Railway, incorporated in 1900, maintained its offices and freight facilities along this waterfront. The color print was issued by the Detroit Photographic Co. in 1901.
