Flag of Polish Merchant Navy

The Polish Merchant Navy (Polish: Polska Marynarka Handlowa, PMH) was created in the interwar period when the Second Polish Republic regained independence.[1]

During World War II, many ships of the Polish Navy joined the Allied merchant navy and its convoys, as part of the Polish contribution to World War II.[1]

After the war, the Polish Merchant Navy was controlled by the People's Republic of Poland and after 1989, by modern Poland.
