Home of the Elissa square-rigged, 400-ton barkentine built in Scotland in 1877. A visitor to Galveston during her sailing/ working days, Elissa has returned as a museum of 19th-century maritime technology. Opened in 1982 after eight years of restoration. Open daily 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. (extended hours in summer). Elissa is sometimes away from Galveston sailing. Check locally for dockside schedule.
