Picture of the Gulf Coast taken last weekend

The Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center community is committed to preserving the history and engaging the future of Mississippi’s Shipbuilding and maritime Heritage!

We would like to extend a thank you to our friends at Signet Maritime Corporation for their donation of this beautiful model of the Mabel Colle tugboat. She was the first of her kind for her propulsion methods. Her propellers can rotate 360 degrees! We are excited to accept this model into our collection!

We look forward to the delivery of two new models and a binnacle from Bollinger Shipyards (formally VT Halter Marine) arriving at our exhibit hall soon!

"Navigating by the Stars" Class will be offered to the Pascagoula Recreation Dept 

after-School children on February 2, 2023!

Stay tuned for pictures of our community children with astrolabes, compasses, nautical maps and "Where in the world is Pascagoula?"

Get Ready!!!! New outside signage is being painted next week!!!
