Myriads of Sea Gulls Make Home on Derelict at Sea
Captain Burg of the steamship City of Savannah recounted a remarkable sight outside Tybee light. A wrecked steamer named Charlton, wrecked in a gale a year earlier, became a floating gull colony. Thousands of seabirds occupied the derelict, roosting on decks and masts, and even the funnel, then flocked to the Savannah when she approached. Passengers fed the birds as the gulls formed a wild, organized scene above the wreck and followed the vessel as it headed back to Savannah.
