- Florence_Martus abstract "Florence Martus (1868–1943; her father was an ordnance sergeant at Fort Pulaski on Cockspur Island, where she was born), aka \"the Waving Girl\", took it upon herself to be the unofficial greeter of all ships that entered and left the Port of Savannah, Georgia, between 1887 and 1931. A few years after she began waving at passing sailors, she moved in with her brother, a light keeper, at his small white cottage about five miles up the river from Fort Pulaski. From her rustic home on Elba Island, a tiny piece of land in the Savannah River near the Atlantic Ocean, Martus would wave a handkerchief by day and a lantern by night. According to legend, not a ship was missed in her forty-four years on watch. A statue of Martus by the sculptor Felix de Weldon has been erected in Morrell Park on the historic riverfront of Savannah.Many other legends endure about this woman, notably the following: The reason she greeted ships was because she had fallen in love as a young girl with a sailor and wanted to be sure he would find her when he returned. Sailors would bring her gifts When the captain of the ship that brought her memorial statue to Savannah arrived, he refused to accept payment because of his fond memories of MartusWhile these old tales may be accurate, there is no strong supporting evidence for any of them.On September 27, 1943 Liberty ship SS Florence Martus was named in her honor.".
