Charleston360 #174#174 Part of Savannah's rich history is that laid by pirates! This building (or combination of buildings) are the oldest in the State. With being constructed in 1734, and being the watering hole for many sailors and pirates that found their way here, you can only imagine how much history echoes through these walls. Tunnels ran under its foundation leading out to the river. Many unsuspecting young men came to the tavern to enjoy in drink and carry on with others, and instead they were carried away, shanghaied through these tunnels out to awaiting ships where they were sold and enslaved.
(For the photography enthusiasts, this was shot with a cheap $20 CCTV 35mm f1.7 manual lens on my Fuji mirrorless. I found I really really enjoyed shooting with this little nugget!)
