During the socialist period, the Czechoslovak Danube Shipping Company, based in Bratislava, was one of the major employers. It employed approximately 3500 people. The company was founded in 1922 and has changed its name several times during its more than 100-year history (today it is called Slovenská plavba a prístavy, a. s.). The Danube Shipping Company transported goods along the Danube from Regensburg in Germany to the Black Sea, with an emphasis on the socialistic countries of Comecon. Boatmen belonged to professions that used special clothing – a uniform, on the basis of which they could be identified, thus distinguishing them from other civilian professions. The paper focuses on the working activities of the shipwright in the 1970s and 1980s, work duties, the way of spending leisure time during the voyage and personal leisure. It presents the social programme of the organisation Czechoslovak Danube Shipping, based in Bratislava, for boatmen and their families.
