Other Information
Join the Mississippi Department of Archives & History for the Four Immortal Chaplains Program in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. This program is organized by the Mississippi National Guard commemorating four Mississippi chaplains who died on the S.S. Dorchester during WWII. The men—a rabbi, a Catholic priest, a Methodist, and a Dutch Reform minister— acted bravely by giving up their life vests to soldiers on the sinking ship. This ceremony will honor their lives and bravery. A reception will follow the event.
