1877 TALL SHIP ELISSA, 2200 Harborside
The 1877 Elissa is a square-rigged iron barque, brought to Galveston from a scrapyard in Piraeus Harbor, Greece, in 1978. This rare, historic vessel is a floating museum that actively sails today. In fact, she is one of only three ships of her kind in the world to actively sail. Elissa welcomes more than 40,000 visitors annually and serves as the Official Tall Ship of Texas. She remains a symbol of the Gulf Coast’s historic beginnings as a seaport and active waterfront.
