On our recent USA road trip, we spent a few days in the glorious
Georgia city of Savannah. Being close to
the waterfront and the beautiful Talmadge Memorial Bridge, we set off one
evening to try and catch the sun setting on nearby Tybee Island.
Tybee is a city and Island in South East Georgia, has a
population of several thousand people, and is a popular retreat for locals and
tourists alike. Tybee played an
important role in the American Civil War,
when Union soldiers laid siege along the North Coast, which, ultimately, aided
their capture of nearby Fort Pulaski, and saw the first use of rifled cannons
in the conflict.
