🔊 Listen to this Post The Druzhba (English: Friendship) is a training ship of the Ukrainian Academy of Navigation. The ship, built in 1987, is one of the modern full-rigged ships in a series of sister ships designed by the Polish sailing ship designer Zygmunt Choreń and was built at the Polish Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk.

Druzhba‘s sister ships are Mir, Pallada, Khersones, Dar Młodzieży and Nadezhda.

The Druzhba was also used by tourists; there is a restaurant and two bars. The ship sailed in Greek and Turkish waters in the summer and in the Red Sea in the winter.

After the operating company went bankrupt, the ship was chained up in Limassol for three years. In February 2001, the ship left Limassol and sailed to Odessa, where it remains to this day. It is still used for training cadets, but is no longer seaworthy. Around half a million euros are needed to make the ship seaworthy again.
