The outdated, sixties facade sets the tone for the rest of the library.

Online, there is more information. It is one of the Mississippi-Alabama barrier islands and was split into separate islands (West Ship Island and East Ship Island) by Hurricane Camille in 1969. In 2019, the US Army Corp of Engineers completed a project to rejoin the two islands. Ship Island has the only deep-water harbor between Mobile Bay and the Mississippi River. During the Civil War, the island was a prison for Confederate prisoners of war and a base for the US Second Regiment, a unit of African-American soldiers. Fort Massachusetts, named in honor of the Union warship that seized the outpost in 1862, is generally open for tours though the organized ferry is closed due to the pandemic.
