It was the 100th anniversary of the ceremonial opening of the Maritime School in Tczew and the flag-raising of the Polish Merchant Navy on the school building. Over the course of the century, the name and location of the University has changed, but one thing that has remained unchanged to this day is the serving of the Polish sea. 2020 is also a special year for all the world affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
