Date: 2023-07-27

In this episode, we visited the Atomic Age for the launch of the world’s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the Nuclear Ship Savannah, on July 21, 1959. We looked at some photographs and deck layouts from the official press kit while reading through the April 1962 document “The Story of the Savannah” from the United States Atomic Energy Commission’s Division of Public Information. There’s plenty more about N.S. Savannah in the John W. Landis Papers, so watch for a return to this topic in the future!
