What To Expect
Crane
The Crane is one of the defining symbols of Gdansk and represents what little is left of the city's great trading age. Built in the mid-15th century as part of the biggest double-towered gate on the shoreline, it also served to install and remove ships' masts, and to load and unload heavy cargo from vessels docked at the quay. Incredibly, this human-powered device could hoist loads of up to 2000kg, making it the largest crane in medieval Europe.
SS Soldek
SS Sołdek was a Polish coal and ore freighter.

5.00The equipment and the staff were top quality. We had a very good guide who was knowledgeable about the equipment and the city. The safety and use of the equipment was explained well and not in a patronising manner. Very enjoyable tour down into the city and also around the back waterways.
A great way to see the city
