“Samarytanka” is the first ship, witch fully designed and built at Gdynia Shipyard. Launched in September 1931 by a floating crane. But the port doctor's office due to problems with engine delivery delays was only handed over after two years. The ship was intended for the transport of sick crew members and passengers from the port station to the hospital. The ship's doctor later abandoned the ship and was taken over by the port captain. The boat was used as a pilot boat. During the war, “Samarytanka”, taken over by the Germans, served to transport workers digging dredgers into the port by ship. It was not used and destroyed for about 20 years after the war, but it was rebuilt in 1971 and stands as a monument to the shipyard gate, that now built it.
In one publication - two models: large - 1:50 scale, and small - 1: 200. A straightforward model for modelers of any experience, just starting would be better off working under the supervision of a more experienced colleague.
