The ‘West Star’ ship with a wood freight on board set off from Gdansk harbour to England in October 1970. At that time there was a huge storm raging on the Baltic Sea. Suddenly the load dislodged, then the small ship tipped and water encroached to the engine room. The only engine was damaged and the ship stuck aground. Its masts sticking out of the sea water are possible to be observed from the shore.

GDANSK SHIPYARD

The Imperial Gdansk Shipyard was founded in 1844 when Prussian government bought land to build the base for their military fleet that at that time consisted of a single ship! Before 1918 the shipyard was one of the main centres where submarines for German Imperial Navy were built. After World War I it was forbidden to produce warships in the demilitarized Free City of Danzig. During World War II U-Boats for Hitlerian Kriegsmarine were constructed there. After World War II Gdansk Shipyard has delivered over 1,000 ships for shipping companies all over the world. But it was the trade union Solidarity that made the shipyard truly famous as it birthplace. Lech Walesa – an electrician who worked here became an iconic character for the world as the leader of the strikes in 1980s. What happened here paved the way for the large scale changes in the whole Communist Bloc in Eastern Europe.
