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.

Soldek is the first ship build in the Gdansk Shipyard after the Second World War. Soldek is now a part of the National Maritime Museum in Gdansk. Actually it the first ocean-going ship in the history of the Polish shipbuilding industry. Now it is moored on the Motlawa river.

Amazing Combi visit, the ship, museum and granary takes you back in time with wonderful exhibit for kids and adults. A must see!

Really interesting if your into ships and sea faring, but more could be made of the space.

It's good for a quick visit. May be interesting for kids who never been on a ship before. Would be much better if there were any interactive items there.

Quite a nice to go around the ship, though there are no translations in English, which is a bit of a shame... The paint has been piled on as opposed to proper maintenance, but interesting nonetheless. Make sure that you wear decent footwear, as you would expect lots of ladders

Narikala Castle

Narikala is an ancient fortress overlooking Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and the Kura River. The fortress consists of two walled sections on a steep hill between the sulphur baths and the botanical gardens of Tbilisi. On the lower court there is the recently restored St Nicholas church. Newly built in 1996–1997, it replaces the original 13th-century church that was destroyed in a fire. The new church is of 'prescribed cross' type, having doors on three sides. The internal part of the church is decorated with the frescos showing scenes both from the Bible and history of Georgia.

The fortress was established in the 4th century and it was a Persian citadel. It was considerably expanded by the Umayyads in the 7th century and later, by king David the Builder (1089–1125). Most of extant fortifications date from the 16th and 17th centuries. In 1827, parts of the fortress were damaged by an earthquake and demolished.
