Gdynia was built from nothing, a place to start with a clean slate. Here Poland hoped to overcome the divisions of the partitions, rural poverty, ethnic and class conflict, and the planning mistakes of older cities, while a new generation learned trades of the sea and world trade. The trouble was that Poland brought itself along.
