Everything about Gda Sk Bay totally explained
Gdańsk Bay or the
Bay of Gdańsk (; ; ), also known as
Danzig Bay, is a southeastern
bay of the
Baltic Sea. It is named after the adjacent port city of
Gdańsk (Danzig) in
Poland and it's sometimes referred to as a gulf.
Geography
The western part of Gdańsk Bay is formed by the shallow waters of the
Bay of Puck. The southeastern part is the
Vistula Lagoon, separated by the
Vistula Spit and connected to the open sea by the
Strait of Baltiysk.
The bay is enclosed by a large curve of the shores of
Gdańsk Pomerania in Poland (
Cape Rozewie,
Hel Peninsula) and the
Kaliningrad Oblast of
Russia (
Sambian Peninsula). The coast of the bay features two very long sandspits, the
Hel peninsula and the
Vistula Spit. The first one defines the Bay of Puck, the latter one defines the Vistula Lagoon.
The maximum depth is 120 meters, and it has a
salinity 0.7%.
The major ports and coastal cities are
Kaliningrad,
Gdańsk,
Gdynia,
Puck,
Sopot,
Hel,
Primorsk, and
Baltiysk. The main rivers of Gdańsk Bay are the
Pregolya and the
Vistula. The bay receives the waters of the Vistula directly via three branches — the
Leniwka, the
Śmiała Wisła, and the
Martwa Wisła — and indirectly via the
Vistula Lagoon with two branches, the
Nogat and the
Szkarpawa.
History
The bay was the setting of a
naval battle during the
Invasion of Poland (1939), leading into
World War II.
