Ludzie morza i Dworzec Morski w Gdyni
People of the sea & Gdynia Marine Station

PL POLISH DESCRIPTION

O miejscu:

Jedno z moich ulubionych miejsc w Gdyni, okolice dawnego Dworca Morskiego i Skwer Gombrowicza, gdzie panuje miks portowego i lekko industrialnego klimatu. W centralnym punkcie skweru wzniesiono w 1965 roku pomnik poswiecony Ludziom Morza. Tuz obok niego wyeksponowano kotwice z XVI wieku wylowiona przez statek badawczy "Koziorozec".

Dalej na wschód znajduje sie budynek dawnego Dworca Morskiego (1932 r.). Nabrzeze Francuskie tuz obok budynku to miejsce, gdzie w pierwszej polowie XX wieku cumowalo wielu polskich tranatlantyków, którymi emigrowano m.in. do USA i Brazylii. Obecnie przybijaja tam najwieksze wycieczkowce przybywajace do Trójmiasta. W budynku dawnego Dworca Morskiego ma powstac Muzeum Emigracji.

Na pólnoc od skweru znajduje sie Kapitanat Portu oraz niewielki cypel, z którego mozna obserwowac wejscie do portu oraz Port Marynarki Wojennej.

EN ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

About this spot:

One of my favorites locations in Gdynia - neighborhood of old Marine Station and Gombrowicz Square with it's mix of marine and light industrial feel. In the centger of the Square you will find a monument devoted to People of the Sea raised in 1965. Just East from the monument there is also a XVI century anchor found by "Koziorozec" research vessel.

Further to the East there is an old Marine Station building (1932). French Wharf next to it was a place where in the first half of XX century many Polish transatlantic ships going to USA and Brasil had moored. Nowadays it is a stop for the biggest cruisers comming into Tricity. In the old Marine Station building an Emigration Museum is planned.

North from the Gombrowicz Square you will find Harbour Master Office and a small spit from which you can take a look on the Gdynia Port entrace and on the naval port.
