Thousands of Londoners are visiting STS Fryderyk Chopin, one of the world’s largest frigates and now moored in St. Katherine docks near Tower Bridge in London.
London is the 18th port of call on the route for the ship, which is taking part in the ‘Promote Poland Together” project run by Poland‘s national tourist agency.
STS Fryderyk Chopin will dock in London until 12 September and will take part in the Thames Festival.
The ship is over 55 meters long and her masts reach 37 meters. The majority of the 40 person crew are students, who are now busy showing off the sailing ship to British tourists.
After a tour of the decks and cabins the visitors can watch an unusual ballet on the masts and take lessons in the classic Polish dance, the polonaise.
