The Polish tall ship Dar Młodzieży passing by



A tall ship is always a pleasant sight. This afternoon the Polish three masted frigate Dar Młodzieży ("the gift of youth") entered Øresund on its way to Szczecin. The Dar Młodzieży, delivered in 1982 by the Gdansk shipyard, serves as a training ship for the Gdynia Maritime University.



Specifications:

  • Length: 108,815 m (including bowsprit)
  • Width: 14 m
  • Height: 62.1 m
  • Depth: 6.3 m
  • Sail surface: 3015 m²
  • Crew: 176 persons (40 crew and 136 cadets) 


Last year the Dar Młodzieży went through the Sound using her sails, as you can see from the "cover photo" on the right.
