Pascagoula

Few cities on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast have a history as closely tied to shipbuilding as Pascagoula. Set where the Pascagoula River reaches Mississippi Sound, the city has long looked to the water for work, transport and recreation. Ingalls Shipbuilding, founded here in 1938, remains a major builder of U.S. Navy vessels and gives the waterfront much of its industrial identity. On the river’s west bank, the LaPointe-Krebs House, built in 1757, preserves a link to the French colonial era. Barrier islands of Gulf Islands National Seashore lie offshore across the sound.
