From 1741 AN ACCOUNT, SHEWING THE PROGRESS OF THE COLONY OF GEORGIA IN AMERICA, FROM IT'S FIRST ESTABLISHMENT. [Edited for readability by Amy] From the 9th June 1733, to the 9th June 1734. Public structures built Besides the several Works on which the People were employed at Savannah, as Pallisading the Town, Clearing the Place from Pine Trees, &c. and Building of Houses, some other Works were carried on, viz. a Public Garden was laid out, which was designed as a Nursery, in order to supply the People for their several Plantations with white Mulberry Trees, Vines, Oranges, Olives, and other necessary Plants. A Gardiner was appointed for the Care of it and to be Paid by the Trustees. A Crane was made for Landing of Goods upon the Bluff; a Battery raised which Commands the River some distance below the Town, and on the Island of Tybee at the Entrance of the River a Beacon [lighthouse] was Erected Ninety Feet high, which has been of great Service not only to the Ships entering the River Savannah, but to those likewise which Sail by the Coast, there being none like it all along the Coast of America. A Fort was likewise Built at the narrow passages of an inland River (called Ogeechee) in order to Protect the Settlement from any inland Invasion from Augustine. Two little Villages were laid out and settled at about Four Miles distant from Savannah, inland from the River, and a Mile from each other, which were called Hampstead and Highgate.
