The Gulf and Ship Island Railroad (G&SI) was built in Mississippi, USA, at the beginning of the 20th century to facilitate the commercial harvesting of extensive southern yellow pine forests.

This development led to the establishment of a seaport and the growth of cities along its path.
A stock certificate is issued by businesses, usually companies. A stock is part of the permanent finance of a business. Normally, they are never repaid, and the investor can recover his/her money only by selling to another investor. Most stocks, or also called shares, earn dividends, at the business's discretion, depending on how well it has traded. A stockholder or shareholder is a part-owner of the business that issued the stock certificates.
