Interesting facts about the wreck

Due to the similarity in their names, the wreck of the Zawiszaczek is often confused with that of the Zawisza Czarny, a legendary three-masted schooner purchased in 1935 by the Polish Scouting Association (ZHP), which also lies at the bottom of Gdańsk Bay, but in a different part of it.
