Goryanin Ship Open-air museum

Overview

Ship Goryanin is an open-air museum located under a modern dome in the center of Tsarevo, where you can see up close the remains of the largest wooden ship ever built in Bulgaria.
The ship "Goryanin" is the largest and only Bulgarian three-masted wooden sailing ship, a child of traditional wooden shipbuilding. It is also the largest Bulgarian training ship of domestic production.
Goryanin was built for a cargo ship in the shipyard in Tsarevo from 1941 to 1947 and was launched in August 1947.
It is a three-masted sailing ship (schooner) with a displacement of 480 gross register tons, payload 350 tons and the only three-masted training sailing ship built in our country as a representative of Bulgarian ships.
The creation of this ship is a remarkable achievement of the Bulgarian local shipbuilding art, inextricably linked with the creation and development of the shipyard of the Strandzha Regional Forest Cooperative Union in Tsarevo. Its activity is a significant event in the history of Bulgarian shipbuilding. The designer of the ship and construction manager is the prominent Bulgarian shipbuilder of Czech origin, eng. Karl Trunka (1882-1954), a teacher of two sciences at the Naval School and a shipbuilding engineer at the Naval Arsenal in Varna.
