Let's put the story of Georgia's founding in order. In 1732, King George the Second said yes to the new colony.
Then settlers sailed from England on the Anne, across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1733, they landed at Yamacraw Bluff, where Tomochichi welcomed them, and Mary Musgrove translated.
The settlers built Savannah, Georgia's first city and its first capital. It's in the Coastal Plain, where the Savannah River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
The river and the ocean helped the town grow. Ships could bring supplies, and carry goods to England to trade.
