The Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center started as just a vision more than a decade ago.
“Opening this center for me has been one of the most passionate commitments of my entire career,” said Lorren West, Shipbuilding and Maritime Center president. “I absolutely love the state of Mississippi, Jackson County and the Gulf Coast.”It’s taken plenty of passion to transform the old Pascagoula High School from abandoned buildings into a source of pride.
Initially opening in 2020 as the Mississippi Maritime Museum is now under the direction of Lorren West. It’s now called the Mississippi Shipbuilding and Maritime Center and debuted its current exhibits with artifacts and displays earlier this year. Taking maritime into the future, means introducing it to the next generations. This summer the Center has been filled with the sounds of children participating in camps.
“Do you know that there are over 300 shipwrecks just off our coastline within three miles from here that have not yet been discovered?” said West.
