One hundred and forty-two years ago today on October 27th, 1877, the three-masted iron-hulled merchant sailing ship Elissa was launched in Aberdeen, Scotland. She is now a museum ship at the Texas Seaport Museum. In honor of her birthday, here is a repost of a video by Mike Headley of the Elissa on her yearly sail.
Thanks for the nice tribute to Elissa.
However 2019 minus 1877 is 142. My wife says she isn’t concerned about my “mistress” because she’s such an old broad.
Thanks for the catch. Fixed it.
