Sailing Ships

Dar Młodzieży ("The Gift of Youth") is a Polish sail training ship designed by Zygmunt Choreń. A prototype of a class of six, the following five slightly-differing units were built subsequently by the same shipyard for the merchant fleet of the former Soviet Union. Her sister ships are Mir, Druzhba, Pallada, Khersones and Nadezhda.

The ship was launched in November 1981 at the Gdańsk shipyard, Poland, and commissioned for service in July 1982 at Gdynia, thus replacing her forerunner Dar Pomorza. Her home port is Gdynia. The Dar Młodzieży is the first Polish-built, ocean-going sailing vessel to circumnavigate the globe (1987–88), thus repeating the famous voyage of her predecessor (1934–35).

The Kruzenshtern or Krusenstern (Russian: Барк Крузенштерн) is a four-masted barque that was built in 1926 at Geestemünde in Bremerhaven, Germany as the Padua (named after the Italian city). She was surrendered to the USSR in 1946 as war reparation and renamed after the early 19th century Baltic German explorer in Russian service, Adam Johann Krusenstern (1770–1846). She is now a Russian sail training ship.

The Gulden Leeuw started her life as Dana in 1937. She was sailing for the Danish government an ocean-going, ice class ship. During that time she was often conducting marine biological research. In the 80's she was used as an offshore support ship, and after that the Danish Nautical School employed her to train their students in becoming experienced seamen. The P&T Charters bought Dana in 2007. The new owners have transformed her into a three-masted topsail schooner she is today, and renamed her as "Gulden Leeuw" (Golden Lion). Completely restored by 2010, in 2013 the Gulden Leeuw received the STI award for the “Most innovative initiative”. In 2017 she was named the Sail Training Organisation of the Year for "excellence, innovation and best practice in sail training for young people."
