Gdynia, Poland

Gdańsk, Poland.  I expected a grimy Soviet era industrial city from the images

of the Solidarity Movement.  Not so.  The ship yards were mostly gone,

the old part of the city was beautiful and the new part was modern

and bustling.  Gdańsk and the port city of Gdynia were really amazing.

The Zuraw Crane in Gdansk is the oldest surviving port crane in Europe. It was built between 1442 and 1444.
