Texas Seaport Museum & Tall Ship Elissa

This vast museum explains every facet of life around Galveston's port during its heyday in the 19th century. Outside, clamber aboard to tour the Elissa, a beautiful 1877 Scottish three-masted barque that is still seaworthy. Combination tickets with Historic Harbor Tours are available.
