SS Soldek

Gdańsk, Poland

SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter. She was the first ship built in Poland after World War II and the first seagoing ship completed in Poland. She was the first of 29 ships classed as Project B30, built between 1949 and 1954 in Stocznia Gdańska (Gdańsk Shipyard). The name was given in honour of Stanisław Sołdek, one of the shipyard's shock workers. The ship is currently preserved as a museum ship in Gdańsk.

The ship was named after the worker Stanislaw Sołdek in Gdańsk Shipyard. There was a part of motivation: if you work well there is a chance that some ship will be named after you. Sołdek was the first ship built after WWII. Now it's the part of the National Maritime Museum

Interesting view inside an old steam cargo ship. It goes from the history (multimedia presentations in the main cargo halls) to steam boilers and engine, to living cabins.

SS Sołdek is a retired Polish coal and ore freighter and it was the first ship built in Poland after World War II and the first seagoing ship completed in Poland. Now it is a ship museum and you cannot miss it as it is really amazing experience to visit it. Ticket only 15 PLN.

There are variety of tickets in ticket office but combination ticket would allow you to get on ferry back and forth. Maritime museum has impressed me maybe I am just not fond of ships and so on. Albeit, Soldek is different, and you may pay visit to the real museum on a genuine ship. You may get deep down as well as on a top of it where a marvelous view opens.

Trencín Castle

Trenčín Castle is relatively large renovated castle, towering on a steep limestone cliff directly above the city of Trenčín. It is a dominant feature not only of Trenčín, but also of the entire Považie region. The castle is a national monument.

History of the castle cliff dates back to the Roman Empire, what is proved by the inscription on the castle cliff proclaiming the victory of Roman legion against Germans in the year 179.

Today’s castle was probably built on the hill-fort. The first proven building on the hill was the Great Moravian rotunda from the 9th century and later there was a stone residential tower, which served to protect the Kingdom of Hungary and the western border. In the late 13th century the castle became a property of Palatine Matúš Csák, who became Mr. of Váh and Tatras.

Matúš Csák of Trenčín built a tower, still known as Matthew’s, which is a dominant determinant of the whole building.
