Exhibits of net knitting and oyster shucking have been especially arranged for the Spring Pilgrimage. THE GLENN L. SWETMAN, one of Biloxi's two White-Winged Schooners, is the re-creation of an era. These early schooners with their shallow draft, broad beam and great sail area were designed for use in less than six feet of water with tremendous loads of seafood, when flying back to Biloxi’s factories. During off-fishing seasons, great schooner races were an integral part of Biloxi, with excitement and competition as keen as the greatest of races today. A part of the museum, the schooner is available for excursions into the Sound. Located at Slip 15, Point Cadet Marina, to the right of the Harbor Master’s, just across Hwy. 90 (a walkway under the highway permits pedestrian crossover).
