Waving Girl Statue
Riverfront Plaza
Savannah GA

Florence Martus (1868-1943) is remembered by this statue showing her greeting ships as they came in.

Tribute to Florence Martus, a Savannahian who is perhaps better known in worldwide maritime communities than in her own. From 1887 to 1931, she greeted ships entering Savannah by waving a cloth at approaching ships from the lighthouse on Cockspur Island, in search of her long lost lover. Her fame spread and ships would return her greetings with a blast from the ship's horn. Many still sound a salute to her statue.

Florence Martus was known to Savannah...

"Artists train themselves to really look at the world around them. And they don't see through everybody else's frame of reference. They discover their own unique vantage point and then express what they've seen in creative ways." ~Candy Paull Welcome to JAMART ~ Jennifer and Melissa's ART To find out more about us and our art photography visit our website www.JAMARTphotography.com We at JAMART believe in the power of Art, Photography and Words.
