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.
