1877 Tall Ship Elissa
The Galveston Historic Seaport is home to the 1877 Tall Ship Elissa, a significant maritime attraction and a National Historic Landmark that celebrates the rich seafaring history of the Gulf Coast. Originally salvaged from a scrapyard in Greece and restored by the Galveston Historical Foundation, Elissa is one of the last three actively sailing square-rigged iron barques in the world, welcoming over 40,000 visitors annually.
In addition to touring the ship, visitors can explore the Galveston Immigration Database and enjoy various events such as trivia nights and sailing experiences. The historic seaport also serves as a romantic venue for weddings and receptions against the backdrop of the majestic tall ship and the scenic waterfront.
