”Dar Pomorza” (”The Gift of Pomorze”) is one of the most beautiful sailing ships to be preserved anywhere in the world. The famous ”White Frigate” is a three-masted training ship. Launched in 1909 in Hamburg, it was bought in 1929 by the people of Pomorze. It was donated to the State Maritime School in Gdynia and it became the ”cradle of navigators.” In the course of 51 years it went on 102 training expeditions. In 1982 the flag was raised on its successor, ”Dar Młodzieży” (”The Gift of the Young”), which was constructed in Gdańsk.
