Abstract:
There are not so many marine services in the world which do have a tall ship
of A class for preparing cadets and for representing a nation in the most remote countries. The
great nations who confronted in the most famous naval battle from Trafalgar: France and
Great Britain, countries that have a tremendous naval tradition don’t have such a piece of
jewel. The school ship- barque „Mircea”, the successor of the famous bric „Mircea”, gathers
all the naval traditions over the centuries of the Romanians just like in a vivid museum, but she
also represents the first crew for each and every officer or petty officer in the Romanian Naval
Forces. The first crew just like the first love is never to be forgotten and we, the authors of this
article, shall never forget it either.
