S.H.I.P.'s Log at the Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center

Seafaring - Heritage - Innovation - Programming

The Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center will be closed Monday in observance of Labor Day! We wish our maritime community a happy and safe holiday weekend!

The MSMC Gears Up for First Field Trip!

The GenSea initiative through the University of Southern Mississippi is bringing a group of engineering students to tour the Maritime Center, following a tour of the Ingalls shipyard. They will use our facility to discuss the Go Blue initiative and the maritime workforce. We are excited about hosting this group of bright young future engineers!

Donate Your Boat!

We are looking for small craft boats to use as framework for future wooden boat building classes, and we need your help!

Your tax deductible donation will help our mission to engage the future of Mississippi's shipbuilding heritage!

We are selling our catboat to support the Maritime Center!

Joan and Martin Caplan discovered this charming boat moored just offshore in Novia Scotia while on their honeymoon, and brought it home with them once they returned.

It has been fully restored, and comes with a sail and a trailer.

If you are interested, please email msmmuseum@gmail.com. The asking price is $3500.

Come by this holiday weekend to see her for yourself!

We would like to send our heartfelt gratitude to Ingalls Shipbuilding and the Bacot-McCarty Foundation for their generous donations to the Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center!
