Maritime heritage of small port towns of the Polish coast

Abstract

The article describes problems of the gradual disappearance of real maritime heritage in small Polish port cities. The maritime heritage of small port cities was shaped by coastal processes and urban historical conditions what has led to creation of specific types of landscapes. Special architectural objects of the post-port heritage of small ports of the Polish coast are hydrotechnical constructions (i.e. breakwaters, quays), buildings related to the technical support of ports (masters and bosuns’ offices, SAR buildings, lighthouses), buildings related to the transhipment and shipbuilding activities of ports (warehouses and hangars, silos). Due to the strong tourist pressure, these facilities should be given special attention.
