A far happier story is the barque Elissa, built at the Alexander Hall shipyard in Glasgow in 1877, fully restored by the Galveston (Texas) Historical Foundation in the 1980s, still lovingly maintained by volunteers, and still sails on sea trials every fall in the Gulf of Mexico. Elissa is open to the public at the Texas Seaport Museum, where I was assistant director in 1990-91.
