Puck is a port town on Puck Bay in Poland's Kashubian region. It has a long fishing and maritime history and was the setting for Poland's symbolic wedding to the sea after the First World War.

## Notes

Puck is the Kashubian coastal town. Putzig is historical; there is no reason to turn the local Polish Latin spelling into an English phonetic transcription. Reference pages checked 2026-11-15: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck,\_Poland ; https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puck\_(Pologne).
