 A
Maritime Career Day
Experience a Sailor’s Life on
the Tall Ship Elissa
Girl Scouts
can experience “a sailor’s life from the days
of old,” in a special overnight adventure aboard the
U.S.S. Elissa.
After a tour of the Elissa and a video presentation, the overnight
Girl Scout crew learns some hands-on sailing skills. Girls
will help set one of Elissa’s huge staysails, and they
work with the ship’s volunteer crew to master rope craft
and seagoing knots. During the night, girls will follow one
of the oldest traditions of the sea–keeping watch over
the Elissa and Galveston Harbor.
