Elissa, Museum ship in Galveston, United States.
The Elissa, measuring 61.40 meters in length, stands as an iron-hulled sailing vessel at the Texas Seaport Museum along Harborside Drive.
The Galveston Historical Foundation rescued this 1877 square-rigged barque from a Greek scrapyard in 1978 and completed its restoration by 1982.
The vessel functions as an educational center where visitors learn about maritime traditions, sailing techniques, and the immigration history of Galveston port.
The Texas Seaport Museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission prices of $12 for adults and $9 for youth.
The Elissa remains one of only three ships of its category worldwide that maintains sailing capabilities while serving as a floating museum.
