The ORP "Blyskawica" is a Polish destroyer ship which served during the Second World War and is the oldest preserved destroyer in the world. It now been turned into a museum which offers unguided tours on the ship which you need to purchase a ticket for. You can take many photos of the ship from the harbourside along with the beautiful tall ship "Dar Pomorza" and Dargon pirate ship which are moored along the same pier.

This can be a combined visit, to both the museum and the destroyer ORP Blyskawica. The warship is located about 5 minutes walking away from the museum. Both well worth visiting and by the looks of it, the museum is continuous improving. While visiting museum staff were working on a full sized submarine outside the museum, apparently going to be the next exhibit. The museum has 2 or 3 floors and an outside area where numerous cannons of all size and shapes, rocket launchers a helicopter a fighter jet and so on are on display. Inside the museum several torpedos on display of which one unique and experimental version, uniforms, fire arms and lots of war history. Be aware that the crew on the ship takes a lunch break of one hour (1300-1400hrs) and you can't visit. We also visited the war museum in Gdansk, this is completely different and I think well worth the trip to Gdynia. The museum has a restaurant on the 3rd floor that is overlooking the beach. If you think this review was useful please give me your thumbs up, so I keep up putting in the effort writing them. Thanks.

As an engineer and fan of militaria, I was more than delighted with the visit to ORP Blyskawica. The ship was relatively new at the beginning of the IIWW and it was also one of the biggest and well armed in its class so it was in successful service not only throughout the whole period of war but remained operational until 1975 (!).
The tour is relatively short and without any guide, however you have access to many interesting places, including entering into drum boiler and engine room.
Blyskawica was built in UK - Cowes, Isle of Wight - and you can still find plenty of evidence for it, as there are many castings or plates on the different parts of original equipment - well done for British shipbuilders, as the ship was launched more than 80 years ago.

Excellent value for money, and great to see such a historic ship in in near original condition.
The only thing I would have liked to see would be to be allowed round more of the ship, particularly the bridge / bridge wings and upper deck. The main deck is excellent, but it would be so much better to see more.
Also, I was surprised that there was no museum shop (there always is in the UK, perhaps it's any excuse to make more money from UK museums), but I would have through that a shop would sell lots of things like models of the ship etc.

The warship Blyskawica is now a tourist attraction. You can visit this ship with an eventful history for 28 zł. The tour is without a guide along a marked route. Various exhibits related to this ship are displayed below deck. Among other things, there are also beautiful models of other ships on display. I found the engine room creepy. Everywhere a lot of pipes, steel, various barometers... I had never been on a warship before and I found the tour interesting.

This is truly Gydnia's hidden gem. A thoroughly interesting experience- you cam walk right through the engine rooms whilst learning about the history and significance of the warship.
I learnt alot from the visit- I've been to the Isle of Wight more times than I can remember and had no idea of the role the Polish Army played in defending it during WW2!

We went to look at this beautiful ship knowing that it was closed.
It is in remarkable condition, paint spick and span, brassswork gleaming and the "crew" in impeccable uniform.
Every detail seems to be correct, torpedo, depth charges, anti-aircraft guns etc.
Its history is inscribed in stone on the dockyard.
Would love to return when it is open again.i

You can see it from distance coming to the Gdynia's Harbour. The ship was built within 2 years in UK and arrived in Gdynia in December 1937. During WWII it took part in several military operations and had over 200 crewmembers. Since 1976 it has become a museum. You can freely walk around the ship. If you are fan of militaria this is must visit. The ticket costs 24 PLN zl.

O okręcie wiem dosyć dużo,służyłem na ORP Błyskawica w latach 1984-1987.Słuzbę wspominam bardzo miło,często wracam wspomnieniami do tych lat.W okresie letnim wraz z rodziną wypoczywam nad naszym morzem,i odwiedzam Mój Okręt zawsze piękny...Ale jest coś co mnie boli.Dlaczego nigdzie nie można doszukać się małych wzmianek z tamtych lat 80tych. Służyliśmy na okręcie trzy lata,byliśmy ze sobą 24godz na dobę,jesteśmy z różnych stron Polski,i nagle wszyscy o nas zapomnieli.Nie chce mi się wierzyć żeby nie pozostało po nas NIC!!!!!! A byłoby miło zobaczyć jakieś zdjęcie z tamtych lat.Zdjęcia pstrykał P.Zdzisław,myślę że coś ocalało.Pozdrawiam życzę miłej służby!!!!!Dariusz.D
