In 1730 King George II of Great Britain sent James Oglethorpe to Georgia to supervise the settlement of the planned community of Savannah. During 1733, several shiploads of people arrived in Savannah, were given a lot on which to build a house, and a tract of land to grow food. This information is all recorded in A LIST OF EARLY SETTLERS OF GEORGIA. On June 15, 1733 a ship left London and arrived in Savannah August 29,1733. According to a publication by Sarah B. Gober Temple and Kenneth Coleman, GEORGIA JOURNEYS, the ship was named "Georgia Pink" and left on the Thames River in London.
