Topic: Swina


  
 Świnoujście - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The river Swina was formerly flanked by the fishing villages of West and East Swina.
Towards the beginning of the seventeenth century it was made navigable for large ships, and Swinoujscie, which was founded on the site of West Swina in 1748, was fortified and raised to the dignity of a town by Frederick the Great in 1765.
In 1897 the canal of the Kaiserfahrt was opened to navigation, and this waterway between the Szczecin harbour and the Baltic Sea was deepened between 1900–1901.
