Join us as we learn about this delicate and important creature of the sea. While sometimes feared for its unpleasant (and sometimes deadly) touch, these animals are important to the local ecosystem. Create your own jellyfish to take home!

Hello, I’m interested in seeing if you have a list of names of the immigrants that entered Texas through Galveston, looking for the last names Evans & Sutton, they would have come from Wales and Ireland area, think you for your assistance.
Sincerely: Randy
Please visit this page for access to the immigration database: http://52.15.118.96/attractions/maritime-heritage/galveston-immigration-database
Is there nothing going on in between March-December of 2017?
I’m looking for attractions to take my 11 year old nephew to when he visits me on the island this month. He told me this was one of the things he was most interested in doing, but the only dates listed above are for March, and it doesn’t list a year, so either the page is severely outdated, or the only attractions won’t happen until March of 2018?
Thank you.
Dorenda,
Our Seagull II (http://52.15.118.96/attractions/maritime-heritage/seagull-ii-harbor-tour-dolphin-watch) goes out into Galveston Bay daily and our 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA and Texas Seaport Museum (http://52.15.118.96/attractions/maritime-heritage/1877-tall-ship-elissa) is available for visiting daily.
I am a member of GHF, is there a discount price to tour the Elissa?
GHF member’s enjoy free admission to 1892 Bishop’s Palace, Texas Seaport Museum with the 1877 Tall Ship ELISSA, and the Great Storm Theater.
I am a GHF member and do not get my discount when I order tickets to events through evite sight. Is there a discount for the tall ships events
Member tickets are available by calling Julia Muncaster, Director of Membership at 409-765-3405.
Did the Elissa return early from the Tall Ship Challenge destinations? I saw the Elissa’s masts while revisiting the Strand on April 29. Thank You.
She did! She’s back home at Texas Seaport Museum.
