The origin of the Ocean Festival

Maritime Festival On May 22nd, 1819, the steamboat "Savannah" set off from Savannah Port in Georgia, USA, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and arrived in Liverpool, England after 29 days' voyage, which caused a sensation in the western world. To this end, the United States is scheduled to celebrate the maritime festival on May 22 every year to commemorate the feat of steam "Savannah" crossing the Atlantic for the first time, and it has been followed to this day.
