Teresa Remiszewska

The cruise and the award brought her popularity, which allowed her to participate in the Fourth OSTAR Transatlantic Regatta of Solitary Sailors two years later.

[2][3] Sailing single-handed aboard the yacht Komodor in 1972, Remiszewska became the fourth woman in sailing history to cross the Atlantic alone (in a time of 57 days, 3 hours and 18 minutes) and described her ocean voyage to the United States in her book Out of the Bitterness of Salt, My Joy, which was reissued in 2019 by the Bernardinum Publishing House.

She was also a political activist and worked in the environmental protection committee of the National Covenant Commission of the Solidarity Polish trade union.

[4] Remiszewska translated (under the pseudonym Urszula Karpinska) Norman Davies' work White Eagle, Red Star, covering the Polish–Soviet War and printed by an underground publisher illegally.

[3] She had a son and daughter: Andrzej, a shipbuilding engineer and Danuta who became the youngest person to obtain a yacht captain's license in Poland.
