Poland 1936 Port of Gdansk Issue

Poland · 1936 · 15gr, 30gr, 55gr

This set of three stamps commemorates the Port of Gdansk (Danzig). The designs feature various port scenes, including a view of the harbor with ships, the iconic medieval crane (Żuraw), and a modern cargo ship being loaded. The stamps highlight the economic importance of the port to Poland during the interwar period.

Issued during the Second Polish Republic, these stamps asserted Poland's connection to the Free City of Danzig, a semi-autonomous city-state where Poland had special rights, a source of significant political tension with Germany leading up to World War II.
