Waving Girl Statue on the Savannah Riverfront

This is the Statue of the Waving Girl in Savannah Georgia. Located on the waterfront close to the Marriott Hotel. This is Florence Martus and her dog waving at passing ships hoping to lift the spirits of the sailors aboard them. She was actually waiting for her husband to come home from a journey on the high seas. He never did return to Savannah. Florence is buried in a nearby cemetery whose name escapes me at the moment.
