Yes they do, I was on it this year and plan on doing it again next year. There are two ways that I know of to get invited. One is to a volunteer with them and do service hours with them to get invited, another is to donate to them and they will most likely invite you. Or you could do the sail training program too and become part of the crew and not just sail it, but put it to sail. It's truly beautiful.
TSM just finished a multi million dollar restoration, all the Ike damage has been repaired. Elissa is in better shape than ever before.
Matthew, thanks for updating the status of this wonderful piece of maritime history. This is good to know. Thanks again! Dave.
@sonnyg3111 What a coincidence! This video was shot in January 2000! Great memories for both of us! Thanks for watching and for the comment.

well I just want to say thank you! I was on the original construction crew and went back to galveston a year after Ike and she was hunting bad.

Sas that this ship has been deemed unseaworthy now. Ike did some damage to the ship and no one ever realized it.
