WHILE THE SHIP IS AWAY, ADMISSION TO THE SEAPORT AND OUR SHIP TO SHORE EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN DISCOUNTED. ***ABOUT THE 1877 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 and welcomes over 40,000 visitors annually. 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.ABOUT SHIP TO SHORE - GALVESTON'S IMMIGRATION EXPERIENCE | Galveston’s historic immigration story comes alive with a new experience at Galveston Historical Foundation’s Galveston Historic Seaport. Ship To Shore allows visitors to follow in the footsteps of the early immigrants, from the long sea voyage with its mix of hardships and wonders to the hustle and bustle arriving in the 1880s at Galveston, one of the busiest ports and booming cities in the United States. The Ship To Shore experience creates a series of sequential experiential spaces alternating hands-on and innovative interactive learning with immersive experiences, all based on authentic and documented personal stories of immigrants landing in Galveston. The experience also utilizes a digital membership card that personalizes the experience to the visitor giving an authentic and new story each time they visit.TOUR SPECIFICS:Includes admission to Galveston's Immigration Experience "Ship To Shore"Tour includes above and below decks of the Tall ships ELISSA.Although children 5 & under are free, please make sure you add a free ticket to your order so we can account for total admissionsService animals onlyNo refundsQuestions?
