When it was chartered in 1872 to carry passengers and freight between Savannah and New York, the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah was the only coastwise steamship company with headquarters in the South. Over its 70-year existence, the Savannah Line owned 18 passenger and freight steamers, among the best on the east coast.  The Savannah Line tells the story of this famous line, from its first tentative steps in the years following the Civil War to its demise after World War II.
