Continuing the voyage with a stop at Jekyll Island.
Did you know the Federal Reserve began here with a secret meeting of the wealthiest bankers at the then private resort? That a slave ship from Africa, the largest and fastest yacht from the New York Yacht Club, landed here a half century after the Slave Trade was outlawed? That here the first transcontinental phone call was made from president of AT&T to Alexander Graham Bell and President Wilson?
Lots going on here.
