Trent Lott Gives Keynote Address for MS Maritime Museum

Former U.S. Senator, Trent Lott, delivered the keynote address Friday night at the Mississippi Maritime Museum for the 2nd Annual General Membership Meeting.

The Maritime Museum was established in 2010 to build a museum facility in Pascagoula that would preserve the history and educate others about Mississippi’s maritime heritage. Lott is a former Senate Majority Leader and a Pascagoula native. He spoke on the importance of Mississippi’s maritime industry.

Lott says, “To have a museum that gives people a chance to see some of this history, artifacts, things that we have and learn about that history will be good for tourism, will be good for education, will create some jobs. I think it’s a great idea and I wish them well.”
