To the north, the area 7 is enclosed by a square commonly known as Captains’ Avenue (Zaułek Kapitań- 16 ski), which is still surrounded by former captains’ houses. Initially, the houses stood 34 34 8 13 along the main road – today’s Marynarki Polskiej Street – and then gradually the 16 settlement expanded into an oval shape delineated from the east by Kosynierów 11 Street. Since 2009, this oldest area of Ustka has undergone a process of urban 14 renewal, in that the buildings have been renovated or reconstructed, and the 11 area has been entered in the national register of historical monuments. As part of 9 16 a project aimed at restoring the historical value of the Old Fishing Settlement, ten 12 bronze plates with descriptions of fish found in the Baltic Sea were placed in the 15 pavement. There were also boards put up with information about Ustka’s historical 10 monuments. Most of the buildings in old Ustka are former fishermen’s huts of wat- tle and daub construction. Buildings of this type can be found in many Pomeranian towns, which is why the region of Middle Pomerania is often called the “Checke- 17 red Land”. The buildings were constructed of wooden, tarred beams, forming a “checkered” framework, while the spaces between them were usually filled with straw and clay and whitewashed with lime. In the second half of the 19th century Ustka started to grow southwards, where the rail- 18 way line was brought in, and eastwards, where the new streets of 19 the villa district were gradually built. 20 1. Statue of the Mermaid In the 1950s a Kashubian writer, Franciszek Fenikowski, wrote a beautiful legend about a mermaid for Ustka. Bryzga Rosowa – for that was the heroine’s name – took care of Marusza, a blind widow from Ustka, who was destitute when her son failed to 21 return from a distant voyage. Every morning, the Little Mermaid brought the lonely and blind woman a salmon so that she would not starve. She also told her to wipe her eyes with salmon liver. Thanks to this, the widow soon regained her sight, before seeing the sailing ship on which her son happily returned. This and other interesting legends of the region can be found in a book entitled “Legends of Ustka and the Słupsk Region”, which can be pur- 6 Old Ustka – former fishermen’s settlement chased at the Tourist Information Centre in Ustka.
