Barrier Islands on the Gulf Coast |
|
A visit to the barrier islands of the Gulf Coast
can be a tranquil private get away,
a relaxing educational opportunity or a
thrilling aquatic adventure.
Ship Island the largest and most highly visited
Barrier Island sits just off the main Gulfport
Beach on
Highway 90. You can get there by personal boat,
charter boat, or catching the ship island ferry
located at the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor.
Ship Island-
One of the
many ever changing
barrier islands along
the northern Gulf of
Mexico Ship Island has a
long history. Named in
1699 by French
explorers, allowing them
a protected deep water
anchorage. Considered
the Plymouth Rock of the
Gulf Coast as many
colonists took their
first steps in America
there. Located on Ship
Island are clean beaches
and somewhat larger wave
action than on the
actual coastal
Mississippi beaches.
Ship Island was cut into
2 separate islands by
Hurricane Camille.
Damage done by Hurricane
Katrina has also
modified the island.
Fort Massachuesetts-
One place to visit is
Fort Massachusetts.
Extremely interesting
for the entire family
from its cannon
emplacements to its
water collection
techniques. Used during
the war of 1812 British
ships rendezvoused near
the island. In 1862 it
was the base for Admiral
Farragut's Union fleet
to attack New Orleans
and Mobile. Use also as
a prison for Confederate
Prisoners of War. |
