Dar Pomorza Boat

The Dar Pomorza is a Polish frigate built in 1909 that is currently in use as a museum-ship in the port of Gdynia. It won the Cutty Sark trophy in 1980. The ship was built in 1909 as a German training ship. In 1920, after the First World War, the ship was taken to France after being acquiesced by Britain. There it was assigned to the navel school in St-Nazaire and renamed "Colbert". The ship was given to the Baron de Forrest to compensate for the loss of his sailboat. Renamed as Prinzess Eitel Friedrich, it was bought by the community of Pomerania in Poland for 7000 pounds, and became the training ship for the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia.
