PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - The Pascagoula Recreation Department has special equipment coming that will offer a virtual version of the Round Island Lighthouse.
The idea is to make it more accessible to those with disabilities, but anyone can benefit, even those who are just afraid of heights.
The Sun Herald reports (https://bit.ly/2fvud7Y ) Jackson County crews and a bucket truck are scheduled to work Monday with the city to install cameras outside the lantern gallery at the top of the lighthouse to look east and west.
The kiosk will let visitors on the ground look through those cameras for a sense of what it’s like to climb the lighthouse.
The lighthouse sits at the foot of the Pascagoula high-rise bridge, because rebuilding it on Round Island became increasingly difficult hurricane after hurricane.
