Solidarity at the Gdansk Shipyard
“The Lenin Shipyard, Gdansk, August 1980. Lech Wałęsa stands atop a forklift truck addressing thousands of striking workers. Foreground shows the moustachioed electrician with a red-and-white SOLIDARNOŚĆ banner; midground reveals shipyard cranes draped with national flags and pictures of John Paul II; gantries and unfinished hulls of vessels rise against a Baltic sky.”
