On Tuesday, March 31st, at 18:00 PM, the opening of a photography exhibition dedicated to the Kołobrzeg Marine Rescue Station took place at the Kołobrzeg Lighthouse. The event attracted residents and visitors interested in maritime topics and the history of rescue. The exhibition told a moving story about the people of the sea who have been ensuring the safety of others for over 70 years.

In difficult conditions, amidst waves, wind, and storms, they provided assistance where every moment counted, often risking their own lives. The exhibition features 60 photographs documenting rescue operations and exercises. The photographs reveal the true nature of sea rescuers' work: moments of tension, the lull before intervention, and the struggles of individuals with the elements of the Baltic Sea. Many of the photographs were taken by Michał Świderski, and the entire collection was based on archival materials and private collections.

The event was organized by the Kołobrzeg Institute of Culture and Promotion, who prepared the exhibition in collaboration with Kołobrzeg's sea rescuers. During the opening, it was noted that while the work of firefighters, police officers, and paramedics is widely appreciated, those who provide assistance at sea, in exceptionally demanding and dangerous conditions, are often forgotten.

The exhibition is open to visitors from April 1 to May 31 during the lighthouse's opening hours, with an admission ticket.

The exhibition was not only a documentation of the work of rescuers, but also a story about responsibility, sacrifice and the extraordinary relationship between man and the sea.
