Vistula Spit canal

Gmina Sztutowo, Poland

The Vistula Spit canal, officially known as the Nowy Świat ship canal, is a canal across the Polish section of the Vistula Spit that creates a second connection between the Vistula Lagoon and Gulf of Gdańsk. It allows ships to enter the Vistula Lagoon and the port of Elbląg without having to rely on the Russian Strait of Baltiysk, saving a 100 km journey and avoiding Russian waters.
