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.
