Gdynia
a city and port in Poland, in Gdańsk Województwo, on the Gulf of Gdańsk in the Baltic Sea. Together with Gdańsk and Sopot it forms a conurbation—the so-called Trójmiasto (Tri-city). The population in 1969 was 182,000 (in 1921 Gdynia’s population was 1,300). The city owes its growth to the building in 1924-36 of a large international port with commercial, military, and fishing harbors. The freight turnover was 9 million tons in 1969; the port is a transfer point for general cargoes of Silesian coal, imported ores, grain, fuel oil, and other products. The most developed branches of industry are machine building, especially shipbuilding, and food processing (fish, fat, meat, and other industries). The city has marine and naval schools, as well as a scientific research institute of sea fishery.
