Come experience a time capsule of the atomic age – the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the Nuclear Ship Savannah! Built as part of President Eisenhower’s Atoms for Peace program, the ship served as a floating ambassador promoting the safe and peaceful use of nuclear power from 1962-70.
The ship will be open from 10am to 3pm, where you can experience its mid-century modern interiors with atomic motifs, engine and control rooms, and other spaces, just as passengers and visitors did during its operation. In addition, you can take a self-guided tour of the containment vessel, which housed the nuclear reactor – truly a unique experience.
