The beauty of Ship Island is its simplicity. There is really nothing there except for a beautiful sandy beach and Fort Massachusetts. So you go there, swim for a few hours in the warm surf and hope not to get too bad a sunburn. Fort Massachusetts was built in the mid-19th century to protect New Orleans and was later fought over during the Civil War, switching hands several times until the Union prevailed and used it to launch the successful capture of New Orleans in 1862.
