Located at Pier 22 - Fisherman's Wharf restaurant, the Texas Seaport Museum and the Tall Ship Elissa
Galveston Historical Foundation brought ELISSA, an 1877 square-rigged iron barque, from a scrapyard in Piraeus Harbor, Greece to Galveston to begin restoration work in 1978.
By 1982, GHF staff and volunteers completed restoration and transformed this rare, historic vessel into a floating museum that would actively sail.
Today, the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA is one of only three ships of her kind in the world to still actively sail.
She also serves as the Official Tall Ship of Texas, a National Historic Landmark and a symbol of the Gulf Coast’s historic beginnings as a seaport and active waterfront.
