Captain's Log -- December 8, 2022

Ahoy from your Maritime Center! December is National Maritime Heritage Month, and we are excited to celebrate the rich maritime heritage of Pascagoula and Jackson County! Here's what we've been up to...

A Historical Heritage

Pascagoula was bestowed the honor of being designated as a World War II American Heritage City for the importance of Ingalls Shipbuilding to the war effort! Pascagoula is one of only 19 cities in the United States that have received the designation, as only one city per state may be designated. The Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center was honored to be a part of the application process for this designation, and we look forward to sharing in the heritage of Pascagoula!

Holiday Fun

Downtown for the Holidays was a success for the Center! We received a few donations, gave away some museum merchandise, and had fun with the community. Congratulations to Jessica Lacy, the winner of our booth raffle! She won a Crown Royal cooler, donated by F.E.B. Distribution. Thank you to F.E.B. for the donation!

We were glad to host the American Red Cross on Tuesday for a blood drive, and we met our goal of blood donations for the event! Thank you to all who donated blood.

AHOY!

Great Space available to hold your next community meeting or get together!
