The Waving Girl Statue greets sailors sailing into the Savannah port with their ships from all over the world. Legend says, that she was the sister of the light house keeper. She waved to all the ships coming by, hoping that it was the one that her fiance, a sailor was working on. Except, he never came back.
I guess, deep down she knew that his ship had sunk, but she kept on waiting and waving to every single boat passing the light house. For 40 years.
The sailors got accustomed to seeing her year after year and liked being welcomed to Savannah.
When she died this huge statue was put up, which is still greeting everybody arriving from the ocean.
Savannah is full of stories like this.
