1877 Tall Ship Elissa March 2017 Day Sail
Video of the Elissa leaving port and heading into the Gulf on one of her annual day sails.
Elissa is a three-masted, iron-hulled sailing ship built in 1877 in Aberdeen, Scotland by Alexander Hall & Company. She carries nineteen sails covering over one-quarter of an acre in surface area. Tall ships are classified by the configuration of their sailing rig. In Elissa’s case, she is a ‘barque’ because she carries square and fore-and-aft sails on her fore and mainmasts, but only fore-and-aft sails on her mizzenmast. From her stern to the tip of her jibboom she measures 205 feet. Her height is 99 feet, 9 inches at the main mast and she displaces about 620 tons at her current ballast.
Unlike some tall ships of today Elissa is not a replica, but a survivor. She was built during the decline of the “Age of Sail” to fill a niche in maritime commerce. Over her 90-year commercial history she carried a variety of cargos to ports around the world, for a succession of owners. Her working life as a freighter came to an end in Piraeus Harbor, Greece, where she was rescued from the scrap yard by a variety of ship preservationists who refused to let her die. The story of Elissa’s discovery and restoration is nothing short of miraculous, and is beautifully retold in photographs and a video presentation at the Texas Seaport Museum.
Today Elissa is much more than an artifact from a bygone era. She is a fully-functional vessel that continues to sail annually during sea trials in the Gulf of Mexico. Thanks to Galveston Historical Foundation and its commitment to bring history to life, combined with the dedication of hundreds of volunteers who keep her seaworthy and train each year to sail her, Elissa and the art of 19th Century square-rigged sailing are alive and well.
Elissa’s wake is over 135 years and counting… Come experience her magic at Texas Seaport Museum, Pier 21, Galveston, Texas.

First Texas Navy by James Bevill
This powerful presentation takes place in the throes of the Texas Revolution, as the provisional government of Texas scrambled to put together a naval force to wreak havoc upon the Mexican supply lines. Having first resorted to the use of privateers (state sponsored pirates), Texas was able to borrow money in New Orleans in early 1836, to secure the warships Liberty, Invincible, Independence, and Brutus. This is the story of those four ships, the roles that McKinney & Williams, the Allen Brothers, Captains Hawkins, Hurd, Thompson, and Brown played, as well as the significant contributions these aggressive men made on the high seas in the fight for Texas Independence. Despite their heroic deeds, the Navy soon found itself drowning in a sea of red ink; crippling the effectiveness of the fighting force as the flow of funds needed to maintain a strong military was quickly exhausted. This remarkable story of the first Texas Navy is triumphant, tragic, and highly entertaining.
James P. Bevill is a Senior Vice President -- Wealth Management in the River Oaks office of the UBS Financial Services. He is author of The Paper Republic: The Struggle for Money, Credit and Independence in the Republic of Texas, a non-fiction work on the social and economic history of Texas from the Colonial period through the annexation by the United States in 1846. He served as guest curator for the TNA sponsored exhibit Broadsides in the Gulf at the Texas Seaport Museum and On the Run at the Rosenberg Library in Galveston. Bevill's book was named as the 2010 winner of the Summerfield G. Roberts literary award by the Sons of the Republic of Texas, and as the Best Specialized book on U.S. Paper Money by the Numismatic Literary Guild at the ANA World's Fair on Money in Boston.

Tour of the USS Texas
So I went to the USS Texas in Houston, Texas. Here is a full tour of the ship of the rooms we went in!
We had a very fun time there, and we also had a chance to control the deck guns and flak guns as well (no, they weren't loaded.)
The following locations of the ship we explored were:
First Deck
Second Deck
Third Deck
Port and Starboard engine rooms
Bridge
The Propeller
(Note that not all of the ship was explored, some area were blocked off.)
If you are into the US Navy or history of battleships, I recommend you come to this museum, it is a beautiful sight to sea! (Get it?)

Pleasure Pier, Galveston TX. Aereal View
Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier is a pleasure pier in Galveston, Texas, United States. Opened in Summer 2012, it has 1 roller coaster, 15 rides, carnival games and souvenir shops.
The new Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier was built 1,130 feet (340 m) out over the Gulf of Mexico waters. It had its soft opening on May 25, 2012.
The new pier complex is located where the original Pleasure Pier stood from 1943 until 1961, when it was destroyed by Hurricane Carla. The original Pleasure Pier featured rides, an arcade, an aquarium, concessions, a large ball room, named the Marine Ballroom, and fishing at the end of the pier. It was also the site of the USS Flagship Hotel, an over-the-water hotel built in 1965 that was demolished after Hurricane Ike in 2008.
Before the renovation there had been almost no maintenance in over 70 years, resulting in the pier having exposed reinforcing steel with accelerated corrosion and concrete spalling at piles, beams, joists, and reflective overhead flat plates. Because of this, extensive structural concrete restoration was needed. Repairs were eventually completed using shotcrete struck and finished in alignment with pre-existing materials making up the pier.

GALVESTON ISLAND
GALVESTON ISLAND
2012 Telly Award winner
Premiered October 18, 2010 on Houston PBS
Texas Foundation for the Arts' newest documentary film, Galveston Island will premiere on HoustonPBS Ch. 8 on Monday, October 18, 2010 at 9:30 p.m. In production since mid-2008, the 55-minute program delves into the rich history and essence of the island, and the rebuilding and resiliency of the islanders post-Hurricane Ike. KPRC-TV's Frank Billingsley narrated the program, which was edited at Fast Cut Films in Houston.
When we started the project, our working title was 'What I Like About Galveston,' said producer Kim Lykins. We began filming two weeks prior to Hurricane Ike. After Ike hit, we shifted our focus so we could chronicle the herculean
task of rebuilding the island. 'Galveston Island' captures the history of the island as well, back to its native inhabitants, the pirate Jean Lafitte, the gambling, and of course the island's infamous red light district.
Interviews were conducted on the stage of The Grand 1894 Opera House, which survived both the 1900 storm and Hurricane Ike. The program was designed to be a companion piece for a program HoustonPBS has produced on immigration through the Port of Galveston. Both programs will air on Monday evening October 18. Having grown up in Houston, I was always attracted by the mystique of Galveston Island, said producer Jim Bailey. I have often felt that people in Houston and other parts of Texas didn't really understand the special character of the Island. Making this film was a great opportunity to capture the heart and soul of Galveston. The Galveston Park Board of Trustees, Moody Foundation, Herzstein Charitable Foundation, George P. Mitchell, BP America, the Harris and Eliza Kempner Fund, and the Dr. Leon Bromberg Charitable Trust funded the program.
