Do You Know Ships?
This will be a series of items, evolving over time, detailing the types of ships that are known by most locals in the vicinities of the cities listed in Jackson County, Mississippi (About > Jackson County, MS > City List). The first installment is shown below. There will be several more installments to come. Stay tuned!
Below are some ship classifications – coming in installments – that will be the focus of the Mississippi Maritime Museum’s (MMM) exhibits, lectures, media promotions and the like. All of the information below comes from select Wikipedia pages that appear to be updated on a fairly regular basis. From the Jackson County Mississippi area have come a long line of boats, ships, schooners, and other marine vessels of varying shapes and sizes from wherever there was water available. And, the list keeps growing. The ones shown below are primarily from one of the larger shipbuilding industries such as Ingalls.
Ticonderoga (Aegis) Cruisers (CG)
Wasp Class Amphibious Assault Ships (LHD)
San Antonio Class Amphibious Transport Dock (LPD)
