Whole model of NS 'Savannah', 1959. Scale 1:192
The Nuclear Ship Savannah was the first of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships ever built. A nuclear reactor on board heated water to produce steam, which turned a turbine. Though this ship ran as an experimental vessel from 1959-1971, she was in commercial cargo service between 1965 and 1970.
