The two schooners themselves survived the storm with minimal
damage and are available for charter through the museum. The
minimum charter, two and a half hours for up to 20 people,
costs $375. A full-day charter for up to 49 people costs $1000.
Its original location in East Biloxi was
destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. A new location, near the Schooner Pier, has been chosen. Proceeds from the sale of
prints and schooner charters will go towards preparing this new
location.
Established in 1986, the Biloxi Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum contains hundreds of one-of-a-kind
artifacts of the historic Biloxi seafood industry and is the
only institution carrying out this mission on the Gulf of
Mexico.
It preserves and interprets the maritime
history and heritage of Biloxi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast
through exhibits on shrimping, oystering, recreational fishing,
wetlands, managing marine resources, charter boats, marine
blacksmithing, wooden boat building, netmaking, catboats/Biloxi
skiff, a shrimp peeling machine and historic photographs and
objects.
