ELISSA Tall Ship Visits Cambridge

The 1877 tall ship ELISSA, one of the last surviving iron barques of its kind and Texas’s Official Tall Ship, made a rare free public stop in Cambridge, Maryland, as part of its historic Sail 250 journey leading up to America’s 250th anniversary. This National Historic Landmark, set to headline New York Harbor’s 2026 celebrations with ships from around the globe, is also one of only three of its type still sailing — drawing tens of thousands annually. Managed by the Galveston Historical Foundation, the voyage aims to spotlight the importance of preserving maritime heritage, with stops planned in Boston, Savannah, and Pensacola before returning to Texas.
