Pogoria

On Sunday morning I found this Polish training ship from Gdynia at the Molo Mediceo: it is the “Pogoria”, built in the Gdańsk Shipyard in 1980, during the rising years of Solidarność. Technically is a barquentine, or a sailing vessel with a square rigged foremast and fore-and-aft rigged main and mizzen masts, a rig often used nowadays for sail training on tall ships. The Pogoria, partially owned by the city of Gdynia and now based in Genoa, has an impressive record of cruises and races around the world, on lease to various organizations.
