Museum Ship "Dar Pomorza"
About This Museum
Believe it or not, this grand ship was launched in 1909 and never once carried a paying passenger. Today, the magnificent three-masted frigate Dar Pomorza is permanently moored in Gdynia, a queen of the Polish maritime heritage. You don't just look at this museum from the dock; you climb aboard to explore its polished decks, cramped crew quarters, and the very engine room that powered it around the globe. It’s a fully immersive experience that feels more like stepping back in time than walking through a traditional exhibit.
Collection Highlights
The entire ship is the collection, but highlights include the original wood-paneled officers' saloon, the gleaming brass fittings throughout, and fascinating temporary exhibitions held below deck that delve into Poland's seafaring history.
