My baby! I worked in the ticket booth & occasionally the gift shop & was so very fortunate to sail on her in 84 & 85 before they fitted her with the engine to go to the gathering of tall ships you mentioned for the 100th anniversary of the statue of liberty I believe. Below decks I barely recognized her until you got to the officer quarters. She's amazing to see even dockside so don't pass up the chance to see this fabulous ship. But to be aboard her under full sail was indescribable & something I'll never forget. We had amazing times with the sail crew dockside, especially during Dickens on the Strand, with the wassail flowing, crawfish boils & singing sea shanties at the top of our lungs. Truly a special time in my life that I will always treasure.
Wow,. What a great bit of boaty history that I'd know nothing about if it wasn't for you . Awesome job, thankyou, . It's great to hear more Americans making sense on the internet nowadays too, so, thanks again. Brilliant photography, brilliant story.
I want to thank you for this presentation of the Elissa,I enjoyed the way you explained the vessel in detail without stuttering ( lol) in an almost recorder playback voice.I have visited Elissa many times since I live in Houston,your presentation will be shown to my friends in Greece ( I'm from Greece myself) and especially my friend captains of modern vessels that are retired and teaching in maritime colleges.I really enjoyed this video.
Thank you for making this invaluable video about an amazing historic vessel!
Viewing today in Galveston. ⚓️
My parents took me aboard this ship in the mid eighties,I have fond memories of it.

My knickkname is a Sespool of worthless information, but I said, can we call it a plethora?

The head deck? Do you mean where the heads are? But seriously, Texans can be proud of this beauty!
The Greatest man who ever lived. AWA!
Amazing Video, I'm hoping to join the volunteer crew in 2025
