In the close vicinity of the Westerplatte peninsula lies a unique fortification monument - the Wisłoujscie Fortress. The name Wisłoujście (the mouth of the Vistula) dates back to the time when the Vistula had its estuary north of the Wisłoujście Fortress. The site was an area of strategic importance as it gave control of ships moving into and out of Gdańsk. The Fortress is surrounded by shallow water. Hydrographic surveys are important because of navigation safety of small ships and yachts and they are difficult because of limited maneuverability of sounding vessel and limitations in positioning. Results of hydrographic surveys of Wisłoujście Fortress have been presented.
The Słupsk Bank, formerly knows as the Stolpe Bank (after the former German name Stolp of the now Polish city of Slupsk) is a bank situated 16 miles northward of Ustka, is about 24 miles long east and west and 10 miles broad. It has on the greater partof it general depths of 10 to 18 m, sand; the shoalest part is the northwestern, where there are several patches with from 8 to 9 m water, and at the western end, where there is a depth of 10 m. On the southeastern edge of the bank the water deepens suddenly to 29 and 33 m and on the other edges gradually. Because of long distance to the coast and large area, hydrographic surveys are carried out by large hydrographic vessels in 24H system. Results of hydrographic surveys of the part of Slupsk Bank have been presented.
