Why was a fort constructed along the Mississippi named Massachusetts? Why build a fortification on a barrier island far from the mainland shore? What could the structure possibly defend? Find the answer to these questions and more as you dive into the Fort Massachusetts Story.
Fort Massachusetts, as visitors to Ship Island see it today, provides a memorable sight. Its massive brick scarp rising high above the sand, reminding those who gaze on it of days when warships made of wood roamed the seas, and a young nation dedicated to liberty saw fit to defend that liberty by protecting its vulnerable coastlines.
