Pass Parade
Someone should write a section on the Mardi Gras Parade that goes on here in the Pass. That parade is HUGE! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.168.179.155 (talk) 23:03, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a line about it in the tourism section. I will add another detail or two, if you like Once Upon a Spiked Birch (talk) 16:52, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Narvaez Expedition didn't shipwreck here
The History subsection on Spanish Explorers in the articles states that it is likely that members of the Narvaez expedition shipwrecked here and were killed by the Carnones (which is a kerning error; it's Camones), as later told to Cabeza de Vaca. It's not cited, but it's either from pgs 41-42 of "History of Florida" (1871) by George R Fairbanks (https://books.google.com/books?id=qQur_U74oxoC) or some webpage summarizing that.

That's not a majority interpretation of Cabeza de Vaca's account of the failed Narvaez expedition, and mentioning it at all in the Pass Christian article would give outsized importance to that theory. Most other scholars I've seen quibble over where in Texas all the 5 boats landed after being separated by the currents at the Mississippi's mouth as they sailed west along the coast, trying to get to New Spain. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/27784857.pdf

Just wanted to throw it out there for discussion before outright deleting it.

 * I deleted it. As I mentioned a year and a half ago, the Narvaez section of this article is unsourced, but I believe that accounting comes from a very old book that has not stood up particularly well. Within Wikipedia itself, the greater Narvaez Expedition article linked to in that deleted subsection of this article does not jive with what's said here; says they shipwrecked on Galveston Island which is more in line with modern historians' interpretations from what I've read.
