Savannah's Waving Girl Statue is a beautiful and iconic monument located in the charming city of Savannah, Georgia. The statue depicts a young woman waving a handkerchief in the air, with a smile on her face and a sense of joy and excitement emanating from her body language. The statue is made of bronze and stands tall on a pedestal, overlooking the Savannah River and the bustling port below.
The Waving Girl Statue is a beloved symbol of Savannah's rich history and culture, and has become a popular tourist attraction in the city. Visitors come from all over the world to see the statue and learn about the story behind it. The statue is said to represent a real-life woman named Florence Martus, who lived on nearby Elba Island in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Florence was known for waving at passing ships as they entered and left the port of Savannah, and became a beloved figure among sailors and locals alike.
The statue was created in 1972 by sculptor Felix de Weldon, who also created the famous Iwo Jima Memorial in Washington, D.C. It was commissioned by the Savannah Jaycees, a local civic organization, and was unveiled on River Street in downtown Savannah. Since then, the statue has been moved to various locations around the city, but has always remained a beloved and iconic symbol of Savannah's maritime heritage.
Today, visitors to Savannah can see the Waving Girl Statue in all its glory, standing tall and proud on its pedestal. The statue is a testament to the enduring spirit of Savannah and its people, and serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and culture. Whether you're a history buff, a lover of art and sculpture, or simply a curious traveler, the Waving Girl Statue is a must-see attraction in Savannah.
