Gdansk Shipyard

Gdańsk Shipyard, located in Poland, is a historic shipbuilding facility established in the 1950s. It became a symbol of resistance during the 1980s when workers and activists, led by Lech Wałęsa, organized strikes that contributed to the fall of communist rule in Poland. The yard played a key role in Poland’s transition to democracy and economic change. Today, it’s partially redeveloped into a cultural and business center, commemorating its significant role in labor rights and political history while evolving beyond its industrial past.
