| Title: | Altamaha River, Darien |
| Description: | This photograph shows the Altamaha River in Darien, Georgia. A thin pier juts into the water, and the opposite shore is lined with shrimping boats. The landscape is flat and treeless. The river is calm. Darien is a coastal tidewater town about sixty miles south of Savannah, located at the mouth of the Altamaha River. The port town's origins can be traced to the earliest years of colonial Georgia. |
