A little chilly but we brought sweaters. Was the highlight of our trip riding around Galveston Bay. The Captain was very entertaining and we learned some history about the great immigration to Galveston which is a part of our family history.

This is an excellent place to visit while in Galveston!!!! For pocket change you get: tons of maritime history. You can actually see what is going into the restoration of Elissa, meet the volu nteers who take care of her year-round, and even sign up to volunteer if you like..
We toured the museum while waiting for the harbor tour. A brief film was shown giving the histiry if the museum,. Although the museum itself covers two floors it's rather small with a limited amount of artifacts and a history of the 1877 Tall Ship Elysse. Interesting, but would have enjoyed it more if there was more to see.
We toured the museum but the tall ship was not there. There was very little to see in the museum. A few old photos, anchors, little else. The price was half off but that was too much.
We were going to go to the museum, but there was a VERY long line on a VERY hot day and we decided to skip it. The entire pier is under construction and portions are closed.
Good to know more about Galveston Seaport. Take this tour together with Elissa tall ship and save you $2
The tall ship Elissa is worth the trip. its a piece of living history. The rest of the museum is good but the Elissa is a gem. The kids will love it.
This was a fun stop for the family that didn't cost an arm and a leg. The museum admission includes a self guided tour of the tall ship ELISSA. This was perfect for our family. We only had a couple hours to spare and this fit the bill.
We were down here for our cruise and Dickens on The Strand and were given free admission to the museum and the tall ship Elisa. Lots of history and had special meaning for me as my Great Grandmother came to this Country via Galveston!
They was a high point of the trip for me..I love Tall ships have sailed on windjammers a fet times ..seeing her as she is today after seeing the film of how they found her in greece lets you know that people do care and are trying hard to keep the past alive. the fact that she's a "living" boat...
