Mississippi Maritime & Warship Museum

  The Mississippi Maritime and Warship Museum mission is to preserve and promote naval and maritime history for the benefit of business, community and government by providing a museum and attraction that will draw individuals and groups to the City of Pascagoula, Jackson County and the State of Mississippi for events and tours. This non-profit corporation’s goal is to save the USS TICONDEROGA as a naval and maritime museum, learning center and attraction for future generations.

  A temporary display of USS Ticonderoga warship memorabilia looks out onto Delmas Avenue in downtown Pascagoula. Members of the Mississippi Maritime and Warship Museum Inc. hope the humble display helps inspire interest in a state-of-the-art museum showcasing the city’s centuries-old shipbuilding heritage. The committee hopes to bring the retired Navy warship back to Pascagoula as the centerpiece of a maritime museum. A replica of the ship is shown above.
