The Independence Sail 2018-2019 Gdynia Maritime University

Sunday 20 May, 2018 will soon become another important date in the historical calendar of the maritime Poland. This day, at noon, the „Dar Młodzieży” will slip her moorings and set off for the second time in her history to make the Great Circle. We, in Gdynia Maritime University (GMU), have been dreaming about another great cruise of our frigate for years. Our Shipowners’ Department has been planning routes and considering various options. The sailing vessel has been maintained in good condition so that she could take up this great challenge immediately with hardly any extra preparations.

The centenary of a return of the Polish State to the map of Europe turned out to be the right moment – the idea of ​​a great cruise has already gained widespread recognition and support from the government. That was the origin of „The Independence Sail”. It is hard to imagine a better Polish ambassador than the „Dar Młodzieży” – a white frigate with friends on all continents, in hundreds of ports visited during the 36 years of her service for maritime education.

In Japan, Australia, the United States, Brazil, China, ports of Europe and Africa, students of our University and maritime schools have built up and consolidated prestige of our country and the Polish flag. Regardless of the times and circumstances, we were perceived as representatives of a nation with significant maritime tradition. Also tradition of high quality education for maritime craft.
