The Vistula Lagoon (or Bay , Gulf ) (, , ) is the sweet ( Fresh ) water Lagoon on the Baltic Sea that is cut off from Gdańsk Bay by the Vistula Spit . It takes a few branches of Vistula , notably Nogat and Pregolya rivers and is connected to Gdańsk Bay by the Strait Of Baltiysk . Politically the Vistula Lagoon is split between Poland and Russia . From 1871 until 1919 , it was part of Germany . After 1919 and before 1945 it was split between Germany and the Free City Of Danzig . Localities on the lagoon include Kaliningrad , Baltiysk , and Primorsk in the Kaliningrad Oblast and Frombork in Poland. The Polish port of Elbląg used to have a lot trading traffic on the lagoon, but that has declined owing to the current border situation. Kaliningrad and Baltiysk are currently major seaports on the lagoon. SEE ALSO |
