TDW 1762 - This Tour Escalated Quickly

0:03 welcome everyone Adam the woo here

0:03 leaving Large Marge park today getting a

0:05 ride going down to Savannah do a little

0:08 bit more exploring it's my second

0:11 channel daily Vlog channel it's the

0:13 daily

0:32 in

0:32 1779 this was the spot of the Battle of

0:36 Savannah and over 800 people were either

0:39 wounded or perished right on the spot

0:42 and what I'm standing on currently would

0:44 be referred to as a firing step and then

0:47 there is a little bit of an incline and

0:50 a

0:52 trench right over

0:54 there and on this side not only is there

0:58 a hotel

1:00 you can also see the wooden fence line

1:03 and this marker States one of the

1:04 bloodiest engagements of the Revolution

1:06 was fought when repeated assaults were

1:09 made by the Allied troops of Georgia

1:12 South Carolina and France in an effort

1:15 to retake Savannah from the

1:19 British let's see what can be found

1:21 inside the visitor center and history

1:24 museum when I walked in I was not

1:26 expecting to see this Majestic mural

1:30 along the wall nice this is the old

1:33 train depot it's now on the National

1:35 Registry of historic places these are

1:37 the remant of an old cotton genin and

1:40 they have a

1:42 locomotive in here as

1:45 well I Love Trains this small wooden

1:48 boat was given the name Old Log and it

1:52 has a very rich History built in

1:55 1870 in

1:57 1893 it capsized during a

2:00 hurricane drowning four

2:03 people in 1919 Dr Belford started his

2:08 Dentistry business and here are his

2:11 tools of the trade and look down here

2:15 there's even some there's even some

2:18 teeth there are a lot of interesting

2:20 artifacts in here one that's very

2:22 fascinating to me is this one this is

2:25 the exact bench that Tom Hanks had on in

2:28 Forest Gump it is been moved from the

2:30 Town Square I showed yesterday into this

2:33 Museum it was made from fiberglass with

2:35 concrete legs to make them lighter and

2:37 easier to remove and check it out that's

2:40 Robert zus right there the director of

2:42 Back to the Future is it just me or does

2:45 this gentleman here on the far left look

2:47 like a cross between Arnold and Charlton

2:51 hon I think it might just be me this

2:54 miniature model shows the detail of the

2:57 battle of 1779

3:00 that I was just standing at just outside

3:02 the museum doors and during that battle

3:04 there were many cannon balls some of

3:07 them going through the sides of some of

3:11 the homes check this out

3:13 that's that's a cannonball hole this is

3:17 a 1902 Crest mobile and there's only one

3:20 of

3:21 16 still in

3:24 existence a two-speed transmission 3 and

3:28 A2 horsepower

3:31 that's not very much by today's

3:32 standards and speaking of horses this

3:34 Carriage was used by the Gordon family

3:37 in 1901 and another interesting tie in

3:40 their daughter eventually went on to

3:41 found the Girl Scouts

4:19 Wy this is the exact same type of

4:19 military grade weapon that professional

4:22 soldiers carry that's what you're

4:23 expected to carry what makes this a

4:25 military grade musket is that it can

4:27 take the bayonet now the speed of the

4:29 horse and the length and curvature of

4:32 this blade should give me enough horse

4:34 to take off an arm and attack the

4:35 Carolina Ral once the British turn tail

4:38 and run glas column can Gallop around

4:41 the wall of aati and trample them with

4:43 their horses and cut them down with

4:44 their saving as they but the British are

4:46 quite fond of this they call this grape

4:49 shot because it looks like a cluster of

4:50 grapes but you can imagine at every

4:52 discharge of that gun with a bloody

4:54 swath can come

5:07 I'm not really sure what's happening

5:07 right now

5:08 but I've joined

5:16 along that road which is here the

5:16 morning of the battle are two giant 18

5:19 British guns now if you look at the

8:06 up about a decade ago this place was

8:06 surrounded by rust to chain Le fence and

8:08 keep out signs but since you came out

8:11 here that everybody who passed by us out

8:13 here can be reminded of what Freedom

8:30 cost that was a lot of fun and very

8:30 entertaining the guide he did a heck of

8:32 a job he had a lot to remember and it

8:34 lasted an extremely long time but it

8:36 went by very quick there was so much he

8:38 had to say and his Spiel big thumbs up

8:42 to that place ever in Savannah check it

8:45 out good times this is the Cathedral of

8:47 St John the

8:49 Baptist it's a pretty Majestic

8:53 structure and from what I've heard the

8:56 inside is

8:58 impressive most impressive doesn't look

9:01 like I'm allowed to go in however no

9:03 touring there is a worship

9:06 service in progress built in 1850 it was

9:10 later dedicated in 1876 but a fire

9:13 destroyed in

9:14 1898 but it was quickly rebuilt and

9:17 opened again in

9:20 1900 I'd really like to go inside and

9:23 check it out but doesn't look like it's

9:26 in the cards today there is a small

9:28 group Gathering however waiting for the

9:29 service to be over so I think when the

9:31 doors open I'm going to go on with them

9:33 side note I'm the youngest person out

9:36 here I am now inside take a

9:40 look at

9:43 this oh

9:45 my

9:47 goodness absolutely

9:52 incredible

10:27 I love stained glass windows and these

10:28 definitely

10:29 do not

10:36 disappoint and take a look at the roof

10:36 look how tall it is the

10:45 ceiling it's pretty hard to wrap your

10:45 head around I don't think I've ever been

10:46 in a church building that big when I

10:50 went to my dad's church when he was a

10:51 preacher the congregation was around 100

10:55 or

10:56 so lot different than the magnet ude of

11:00 that place I've been walking down the

11:02 sidewalk for a couple blocks and I just

11:05 now noticed that there are sea shells in

11:09 the ground look

11:11 closely there are shells embedded in the

11:17 concrete this stretch of rustic old

11:19 buildings is what is known as the Pirate

11:22 House you cannot expect a community that

11:26 has been around for as long as this one

11:28 has to not be cursed by

11:32 swashbuckling Scoundrels Associated not

11:35 only with Maritime history but also

11:36 Robert leis Stevenson's Treasure Island

11:39 it was built in

11:40 1754 visitors are welcome but also

11:44 warned located inside is the herb house

11:47 the oldest house in Georgia now used as

11:51 part of the dining room and they have a

11:54 buffet here I think I'm going to dive in

11:56 and get well not actually going to

11:58 technically dive in but I think I'm come

11:59 going to get some food and eat amongst

12:01 the Pirates the sign designates an eerie

12:04 underground chamber that was found

12:07 during a renovation in the

12:09 1960s if you look closely down there

12:12 there's a

12:13 skeleton oh my gosh this is definitely

12:16 some Feelgood food if ever there was

12:20 some and after a hearty meal you got to

12:22 help yourself to some treasure I got

12:26 some treasure I thought I'd be able to

12:27 eat a whole heck of a lot more than I

12:29 did I probably shouldn't have got to

12:31 Buffet because I never made a return

12:33 trip I only ate about

12:34 3/4 of the original

12:37 plate I failed I'm not cut out for

12:41 piracy my stomach could not handle the

12:44 overload check out that old bomber up

12:47 there that's a relic of an airplane

12:50 careening through the

12:57 sky

12:57 whoa there is a 3d figure

13:02 protruding out of this wall it's the

13:04 same coloration as the

13:08 paint on the

13:10 structure it appears to be an Indian

13:14 headdress yeah I think that's what that

13:16 is they were fortunate enough to find a

13:18 spot for their RV I'm not even sure if

13:21 that's really a parking spot but thumbs

13:23 up to them for having the initiative to

13:27 park down here there's not a whole heck

13:28 of a lot of parking I took a ride into

13:30 town which makes it a lot easier than

13:31 trying to find a place for Large Marge

13:33 and I've also noticed that there is an

13:36 overabundance of fountains and town

13:39 squares in Savannah not that I'm

13:42 complaining because I love the

13:44 Ambiance that is given in this neck of

13:47 the

13:52 woods have I mentioned how much I love

13:52 this place because I do thanks for

13:55 watching see you guys tomorrow vlog
