A sight in the Świnoujście region

The Museum of Sea Fishing at Świnoujście

A museum devoted to the history of the harbour and sea fishing at Świnoujście — with displays of equipment and boats and the story of the hard craft of the people of the sea and of the town's history.

The history of the harbour and fishing

The Museum of Sea Fishing tells the history of the harbour at Świnoujście and of a life bound closely to the sea — from fishing through maritime crafts to the everyday life of a coastal town. It is a good complement to a beach-and-fort programme on a wet day.

What to see

  • Fishing gear and boats — the equipment of a seafaring craft
  • The history of the harbour — the growth of a town by the sea
  • Themed exhibitions — the nature and life of the Baltic
  • In the centre — easily combined with a beach programme

In practice
