National Maritime Museum
National Maritime Museum – On December 10, 2013, by decision of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage, the name of the Central Maritime Museum was changed to the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk. Since 2013, it has carried the name of the Central Maritime Museum. Its headquarters is a complex of five granaries on Olowianka, and its branches in Gdansk are the Żuraw, the Sołdek museum ship and the Maritime Culture Center. The museum conducts both museum and conservation activities, as well as archaeological and research activities. It has more than
50 thousand exhibits, including those excavated
as a result of underwater archaeological work.
Ship-museum Sołdek – Sołdek is the first ship built after World War II by the Polish shipbuilding industry. At the Gdansk Shipyard, where the ship was made, the forefront of the work was Stanislaw Sołdek, a tracer who made 206% of the standard and who was designated as the ship’s patron. Sołdek was a steam-powered bulk carrier, used to transport coal and iron ore between Baltic ports.
In total, from the day of its launch in 1949 to the end of its operation
in 1980, it made 1479 voyages. Since 1985 it has been on display as a museum ship at the Olowianka waterfront.
