EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment of James Edward Oglethorpe's arrival in Georgia in 1733, marking the beginning of British colonial settlement in the New World. Oglethorpe, a visionary leader, peacefully negotiated land from the Mico of the Yamacraws, Tomo-chi-chi, and his people, establishing Savannah as the principal colonial city in the province of Georgia. The image depicts the bustling scene at the landing, where a wooden crane winches up barrels and supplies from the shore to the higher cliff, while men carry more goods towards the newly constructed houses. A large ship anchored in the distance symbolizes the vital connection between the Old World and the New, as trade and commerce began to flourish. This poignant moment in history represents the beginning of a new chapter in North American colonization, as settlers embarked on a journey to build a thriving community in the wilderness of Georgia.
