History
The academy has its roots in the Machine School for the Navy, the first technical school in Bulgaria, established on 9 January 1881 in Ruse. It used to train only engine-room ratings for the Navy, merchant vessels, workshops and plants. The first course of study to train navigational officers began in 1919.
In 1942 the school was promoted as ‘His Majesty's Naval Academy’. It started to train deck officers with a higher maritime education (bachelor's degree) and one year later - ship power-plant specialists with higher maritime technical education (bachelor's degree).
In 1949 the academy was renamed Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, after Nikola Yonkov Vaptsarov.
