Spartina 449 warehouse sale will have a new location this year
BLUFFTON, S.C. (WSAV) — Spartina 449, an upscale lowcountry boutique that offers handbags, clothing and accessories, is getting ready for their 13th annual warehouse sale. This ticketed event is highly anticipated and this year the sale is in a new location. For the first 12 years, the sale was held at the Hilton Head Island High School gym. But renovations at the school meant finding a new location to accommodate the thousands of shoppers who anticipate the warehouse sale every year. That new location is Bluffton High School. Tickets go on sale Thursday and range from $5 to $50. As has been the case every year, all proceeds from the warehouse sale will go to local charities. Last year, Spartina raised over $51,000. This year's recipients have not been finalized. The 2025 Spartina 449 Warehouse Sale is July 10 through 13. Click here for information on how to get tickets. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Savannah launches nation's first waterjet hybrid ferries with public celebration
HUTCHINSON ISLAND, Ga. (WSAV) – Savannah is making waves – literally – with a groundbreaking addition to its waterfront. Chatham Area Transit is rolling out the nation's first waterjet hybrid ferries. The new additions promise a greener, smoother ride for locals and visitors alike. You've probably taken a ferry ride in Savannah before – but not like the one that Savannah now offers. For the first time in U.S. History, waterjet hybrid ferries are entering public service – and CAT is launching them right here in Savannah. The Juliette Gordon Low II and Susie King Taylor II are the newest additions to the Savannah Belles Ferry Fleet – and they're making history. These are the first in the country to feature waterjet hybrid technology, which combines diesel-powered generators with large lithium-ion batteries for quiet and efficient travel. The boats have been running since January of this year, but CAT was waiting to celebrate until they knew all the kinks were fixed and were running smoothly. They told WSAV that today is now the day to officially celebrate this launch. After nearly five years bringing this project to life, each ferry costs around $5.5 million. The ferries improve passenger comfort while reducing fuel use and emissions. The launch also marks the completion of the newly restored seawall… a key piece of riverfront infrastructure. CAT officials hope Savannah's example sets a new standard for cities across the country. 'These vessels were a long time in the making, many years from concept to design, to build and to gather the funding to get these vessels. So, we're just really excited to be able to introduce it to all of Savannah,' said John Allen, the Director of Marine Services for Chatham Area Transit. This afternoon, local leaders and the public are welcome to celebrate the launch of the new ferries. The event begins with a ribbon-cutting at City Hall Landing, followed by a ferry cruise to the Savannah Convention Center. Public celebration today, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. City Hall Landing and Trade Center Landing Nation's 1st Waterjet Hybrid Ferries $5.5M Each, 4–5 Years in the Making Quieter, Cleaner, More Efficient Rides This marks a major step forward in green public transit. The ferry fleet is now growing to 6 boats, just in time for the new convention center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
