The August 1980 strike at the Lenin Shipyard produced the 21 Demands and, with them, Solidarity — the first independent trade union in the Eastern Bloc, which reached nearly ten million members within a year.
The clock: Gdańsk keeps UTC+1. Amber from the Baltic coast has been traded through here since Roman times, along a route that reached the Mediterranean.
Gdansk lies at 18.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 3.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 15 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:45 rather than 12:00. Under daylight saving the clocks move 60 minutes forward, widening the gap to 45 minutes and pushing solar noon to 12:45.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 17h 14m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 7h 18m. The swing between them is 9h 56m. This is the latitude band where the difference between summer and winter evenings is most obvious.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Gdansk the sun comes up earliest on 18 June at 04:10, while the latest sunset waits until 26 June at 21:24. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Gdansk that civil twilight runs about 36 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 56 minutes at the solstice.
