Exchanged confederate POWs

On 15 Nov 1864 a group of 3,023 paroled Confederate prisoners of war from Fort Delaware and Point Lookout Md were handed over to Confederate authorities for exchange at Venus Point, Savannah River, Georgia. They were brought down by boat. My question is where is Venus Point, Savannah River, Georgia? I'm guessing it's near Savannah, Georgia. Any help on a pin point site. Thank R.D.
