– This is the largest Christmas tree in Tricity. Many of our students, especially graduates, spend their holidays at sea. And this is a symbolic gesture. We will cultivate this tradition. I have emphasized many times that we have a large inscription “Gdynia” on the stern and we would like to be close to the inhabitants of Gdynia.
