MS Piłsudski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

M/S Piłsudski (later renamed ORP Piłsudski) was a large (14,287 BRT) ocean liner of the Polish merchant marine, named for Józef Piłsudski, Marshal of Poland. Launched in 1935, she sank on November 26, 1939, during her first wartime voyage, as a result of unknown causes. She was the sister ship of Poland's other pre-war ocean liner, the MS Batory. The Pilsudski's first and only commanding officer was Cmdr. Mamert Stankiewicz.
