COMMENT THIS PHOTO(3)
Shipowners in the countries of the communist bloc competed in giving ships names that were unpronounceable by foreigners. I remember the situation with the ship on which I worked and the operator of the SALERNO Harbor Master's Office. The ship was named KOPALNIA MOSZCZENICA. After many attempts to pronounce the second part of the name, she gave up. We have been called KOPULONIA.
