Purpose of the project
The purpose of this project deliverable is the product being the steamship. This steamship was also the first steamship to cross the Atlantic ocean. In April 1819, the SS Savannah arrived in her namesake city. The total cost of this project was $50,000. This is the total cost in 1819, due to inflation, this would be a lot more if it were to be done now (Savannah Ship Timeline., n.d.). -

This ship weighed 320 tonnes and had a steam engine, paddlewheel and sails. This ship was also a hybrid ship. The NS Savannah was the first merchant ship to be powered by nuclear power. She was supported by government entities in the United States. Savannah was a demonstration project for nuclear energy's potential. She served as one of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships in service between 1962 and 1972.
