Scranton Floating Museum — Pascagoula Waterfront

A converted shrimp boat sits on the Pascagoula River waterfront, and you walk through the vessel to learn how Gulf shrimping works from people who did it for a living. The museum is small, authentic, and connects directly to the Pascagoula River walk and Beach Park. Pascagoula's waterfront looks like a working city, not a casino strip. The port sits where the Pascagoula River meets the Mississippi Sound — the same water that brought French settlers in 1699, the same Gulf that made shrimping an industry. The museum preserves what the work actually looked like: the vessel, the people who worked it, the Gulf that made the catch. Check locally for current hours. The draw is the vessel itself and the guides who know the trade.
