ELISSA’s Historic East Coast Voyage

The ELISSA, a majestic 1877 iron-hulled tall ship, is making a historic comeback—sailing the East Coast for three months as part of Sail250, a global celebration of American independence. Docked in Chesapeake City, Maryland, it’s set to lead a massive fleet into New York Harbor on July 4th, a first in 40 years. Once slated for scrap in Greece, this Scottish-built vessel was rescued by the Galveston Historical Foundation, restored by 1982, and now sails again—heading next to Boston, Savannah, and Pensacola, proving that history doesn’t just sit still, it sails on.
