The Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum is an industry museum in Biloxi, Mississippi. It aims to preserve and interpret the maritime heritage and history of the city and the Mississippi Gulf Coast region.

Established in 1986, the Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum is home to the two 65?masted Biloxi Schooners replicas. Aside from these two, there are also tons of other displays about the area?s seafood industry mostly on oystering, recreational fishing, and shrimping. There are also information and exhibits on the local wetlands, wooden boat building, marine blacksmithing, net making, and managing marine resources. A good amount of historic objects and photographs are also on display.

The Maritime & Seafood Industry Museum has been hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, but the city worked hard and rebuilt the museum.
