In 1786, the Georgia Legislature approved the creation of a fort on Cockspur or Tybee Island to be named in honor of General James Screven, a Revolutionary War hero. The fort was never built by the state, but in 1808, the property fell under the jurisdiction of the Federal government as Fort Screven Reservation.
In 1855, the government approved building Fort Screven on the north end of Tybee to provide modern seacoast defense.From 1897 to 1947, the fort was an integral part of America's Coastal Defense system. Troops stood guard on Tybee through the Spanish American War of 1898, World War I and World War II. In 1947, the Fort was closed and sold to the Town of Tybee and tourism returned as a major part of Tybee's history. By the 1950s many of the forts buildings had been converted for use by private owners. In 1961, Battery Garland, the former gun battery and magazine for a 12 inch long-range gun, became the Tybee Island museum.
Rooms that once stored six hundred pound projectiles and two hundred pound bags of gun powder, now hold the collections and exhibits of more than four hundred years of Tybee Island history. Today, visitors marvel at the private residences nestled atop the fort's walls, the magnificent ocean and river views –- and the fort that played a role in so many phases of American history.

But this isn’t a typical arboretum. For one thing, the trees in this arboretum are the trees of Inman Park — shade and ornamental, old and young, exotic and native. For another, people live here. This is their arboretum, which these neighbors helped design and continue to maintain.

Liquefied natural gas, commonly called LNG, is natural gas that has been cooled to -260 degrees Fahrenheit (-162 degrees Celsius), reducing it to a liquid state. In a liquid state, natural gas occupies about 1/600th of its original space. That means one LNG tanker can transport as much natural gas as 600 tankers carrying regular natural gas.

At a receiving facility, LNG is transferred into specially designed storage tanks where it is stored as a liquid. The LNG remains in storage until it is scheduled for redelivery. Then it’s pumped from the tanks and subjected to both heat and pressure, which returns it to a gaseous state for pipeline transportation.
