including installation of portable facilities and negotiation with the shipyard – it seems very unlikely that the working conditions would be improved to a satisfactory level.

It was not a movement that began in 1980, but rather a continuation of a working class and Polish intelligentsia movement that began in 1956, and continued in two other risings, in 1970 and 1976. The most significant of these risings began in the shipyards of the 'Triple City', Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia in 1970. The first and by far the most violent and bloody of the workers revolts came in June of 1956, when at least 75 people died in the industrial city of Poznan. The third uprising took place in

This decline in exports led to many layoffs among manufacturing workers. Eventually, some factories, shipyards, and other businesses closed because they had become unprofitable.

food shortages and inflation were abundant. The Polish Communist Party was faced with nationwide strikes, and their tactics of buying off workers had failed because there were too many people striking. However, when the strikes spread to the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk on August 14th, everything was about to change.

“He who puts his hand out to stop the wheel of history will have his fingers crushed” -Lech Wałęsa (www.brainyquote.com). He was born the son of a simple carpenter, but much like another famous carpenter’s son, his impact upon the world was far greater than the circumstances of his birth and childhood.

I once asked a friend what made Sitmar Cruises special and without missing a beat she replied, “They serve mixed nuts to the last night!” It was that high level of service which distinguished Sitmar among its competitors.
