Description:

Elissa is a three-masted, iron-hulled sailing ship built in 1877. She carries nineteen sails covering over one-quarter of an acre in surface area. She is much more than iron, wood and canvas. Today Elissa is much more than an artifact from a bygone era. She is a fully-functional vessel that continues to sail annually during sea trials in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to Galveston Historical Foundation and its commitment to bring history to life, combined with the dedication of hundreds of volunteers who keep her seaworthy and train each year to sail her, Elissa and the art of 19th Century square-rigged sailing are alive and well. With moonlight silhouetting the masts of the ship and Texas Seaport Museum provides a romantic, outdoor setting for weddings and receptions. The location on Galveston’s historic waterfront also offers a picturesque site for your gathering. Experience history and romance with a Texas Seaport Museum & Elissa wedding.
