The year was 1957, and 22 young students graduated from the Dubrovnik Maritime College. As young cadets, they sailed away to the four corners of the world full of hope and eager to learn and develop their new found maritime skills. They passed many exams, and ultimately become Master Mariners.

Time flies very quickly and 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of the year that they earned their diplomas. On


in Dubrovnik, Croatia, a special celebration is in the works to mark this event: The day will start with a visit to the Maritime University, tribute will be paid to departed colleagues, teachers, as well as Head Master Prof. Josip Suric. They will celebrate a mass at the Church of Saint Blaise the Patron of Dubrovnik followed by a luncheon.

Davne godine 1957. Dubrovačku Pomorsku Školu je završila grupa studenata, njih 22, i otišlo u plovidbu na daleke pučine ... diljem svijeta, kao mladi kadeti, puni volje i željni znanja i pomoračke prakse.... .Završili su mnoge ispite, diplomirali su Višu Pomorsku školu, a zatim nastavili plovidbu kao vrsni "meštri od mora i brodova" - Kapetani Duge Plovidbe. Vrijeme zaista brzo leti i ove godine je ni manje ni više nego punih pedeset godina od dana kad su partili!  Sprema se velika "Fešta od 50 godina" u Dubrovniku


Sjetit će se toga dana na svoje profesore i umrle kolege, posjetit će Pomorski Fakultet, polozit cvijeće na grob svog razrednika, uvaženog Prof. Josipa Surića, biti na Sv. misi u Crkvi Sv. Vlaha za umrle i prisustvovati  zajedničkom objedu.
