Gdynia (Gdingen) 54°31' N - 18°34' E

Originally a small fishing village, Gdingen has a short history. The port is only from WWI. Having regained, in 1918, its independence - so very much desired after 150 years of partitions - Poland was still lacking access to the sea. It was only on l0th February 1920 that nuptials of Poland with the sea could be performed in Puck. It was a symbolic act meaning that the nation's dreams of regaining access to the Baltic, of having its own fleet, of being a sea power could start coming true. Under the Treaty of Versailles a small portion of the Baltic coast was granted to Poland. Gdingen was still another fishing village, but only twelve years later this 'village' counted 120,000 inhabitants.
