The speaker will cover the different ships named after Pommern\, with focus on the Dar Pomorza\, its historic stories\, and how it is still used today. \n  \nThis program will be held in person at the Minnesota Genealogy Center\, 1385 Mendota Heights Road\, Mississippi Room\, Mendota Heights\, Minnesota 55120 as well as virtually by Zoom.
