Editing SS Savannah (section)

===At Liverpool===
During ''Savannah''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> stay at Liverpool, the ship was visited by thousands of people from all walks of life, including officers of the army and navy and other "persons of rank and influence." Perhaps reflecting the suspicion with which both nations still regarded one another after the recent [[War of 1812]], some suspected the ship of planning to rescue [[Napoleon Bonaparte]] from prison on the island of [[St. Helena]]; his brother Jerome had recently offered a large reward for such a service.<ref>Smithsonian, p. 628.</ref>

''Savannah'' remained at Liverpool for 25 days, while the crew scraped and repainted the ship, tested the engine, and replenished fuel and supplies. On July 21 the ship departed Liverpool bound for St. Petersburg in Russia.<ref>Smithsonian, p. 634.</ref>
