Summary/Abstract: The literature on the shipbuilding industry in the Polish People’s Republic includes the phenomenon of the Głos Stoczniowca in the 1970s. The aim of the article is to examine the thesis of the literary character of the Głos Stoczniowca in the 1970s. Extensive use was made of the files collected in the State Archives in Gdańsk and recorded film notations with the journalists of the weekly newspaper Wiosna Adamowicz as well as the late Grzegorz Kurkiewicz and Mirosław Stecewicz. In addition, thirteen issues of the paper were subjected to a quantitative analysis of their content and, in particular, the surface of the press. The research results are presented in detailed statistical summaries of journalistic material, iconography and authors. It was possible to confirm the literary character of the title and to describe its role in the 1970s.
