Abstract:
On Maritime Day, 1958, the United States steps across a new threshold as it lays the keel for the ship SAVANNAH--the world's first nuclear-powered merchant ship. Named for the unprecedented voyage of the steamship SAVANNAH in 1819, the nuclear-powered vessel is a pioneering feat in the fields of atomic energy and engineering.
