 Experience
life as a sailor on the Tall Ship Elissa
Standing on the deck of Elissa, you have a clear view
back to the days when salt spray and tall ships were
second nature to “square-riggers.” In a
special overnight adventure, those days come to life
again for Girl Scouts who want to experience “a
sailor’s life.”
After a tour of the Elissa and a wide screen presentation
of “Elissa, the Longest Voyage,” the overnight
crew learns by doing. They help set one of Elissa’s
huge staysails, and they work with the ship’s
volunteer crew to master seagoing knots and rope craft.
Overnight, participants follow one of the oldest traditions
of the sea–keeping watch over the Elissa and the
Galveston harbor.
Group activities include:
• Designing and flying your groups flag during
your stay.
• Learn and practice knot tying and finding those
knots on the Elissa.
• Set and douse Elissa’s staysail.
• Line handling.
• Sea chanties.
• Log entries and keeping watch overnight.
• Science, ecology, and seamanship are themes
and activities exhibited on-site.
