Pogoria

The fully rigged ship Pogoria was built in 1980 in Gdansk for the Iron Shackle Fraternity - a marine educational project which was conceived and founded by Captain Adam Jasser. The project was later sponsored by the Polish National Television, the TV Magazine 'Flying Dutchman'. Just weeks after her launch, Pogoria took part in the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Races.

In the summer of 1981 Pogoria sailed to King George Island in the Antarctic for the Polish Academy of Sciences. From 1985 to 1991 was chartered by the Canadian Educational Alternative, working with Schools Afloat, making long voyages including a round the world trip.

The Barquentine is currently mainly used as a sail training ship, which is used year round, sailing to various destinations around the world. During the winter she has been operating in the Mediterranean from her base in Genoa, in cooperation with STA Italia.
