Hometown History: Ship Island
SHIP ISLAND, Miss. (WXXV)- Around ten miles south of Gulfport, Ship Island stands as a gateway to history.
Sitting on the island is the historic Fort Massachusetts, and for 100 years, Ship Island Excursions has been transporting locals and tourists alike to experience centuries of stories firsthand.
WXXV’s Megan Fayard made a trip out to the island to bring us this month’s Hometown History.
