The port of Cambridge, Maryland, the second deepest in Maryland, has hosted its share of historic seafaring vessels over the years.

The most recent visitor is ELISSA, the Texas tall ship built in 1877 by Alexander Hall & Co. in Aberdeen, Scotland, a three-masted, iron-hulled barque and one of the few authentic 19th-century tall ships still actively sailing today, a point of pride for current Captain Andrew Ellers.
