Haven't been there in decades. Prior to Camille a family member had a camp on Henderson Point. We used to take the ferry to Ship Island and Cat Island all the time. The boat had slot machines on it. I was just a kid but my parents used to let me put a few coins in them. Which island had the Civil War fort on it?

Ship Island has Fort Massachusetts on its Western end. That masonry structure was finished during the Civil War.
Cat Island is now almost all part of Gulf Islands National Seashore but there are a couple of houses on it on private land on the canal in the interior area. It's over 90% public land. Cat Island was the scene (during WWII) of our War Department trying to see if dogs could detect the difference between ethnic Japanese and regular ol' Murkins.
