The 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA sets sail for Savannah as part of her official Sail250 voyage, marking a meaningful return to a port she previously visited in 1894. This rare arrival offers visitors the opportunity to step aboard a living piece of maritime history and explore the craftsmanship, stories and enduring legacy of one of the world's last actively sailing square-rigged iron barques.
