Kurt Voss has been associated with the Elissa since 1980, first as a volunteer foreman during the ship's restoration and then as director of the Texas Seaport Museum from 1994 to 2007. One of his proudest accomplishments was helping to establish the Elissa volunteer program, considered by many to be one of the best in the country. His history with the vessel provided access to photographs from a number of collections, and many of the images have never been published. His sources include the Galveston Historical Foundation archives, descendants of the ship's former owners and captains, and individuals associated with the ship from her restoration to the present.
