The harbour is situated on the Old Motława, two-minute walk from Embankment Square.
The building was constructed in 1920s and it avoided destruction during the war.
In 1947 Maria Czarnowska and her husband established the Hurricane Club.
In 1957 the PTTK Water Club in Gdańsk was established.
In 1992 the Żabi Kruk Association was established.
The harbour was named after Paweł Chudacz who used to be an experienced canoeist and club keeper after the war. He was also a strong drive for activities undertaken by the club members.
At present, the harbour accommodates the Żabi Kruk Water Club Physical Culture Association and a canoe rental company.
Every year a Children’s Day feast used to be organised, including various contests, such as sack races or slaloms with eggs held on spoons which contestants used to keep in their mouths.
People used to go swimming and fishing there.
In winter the harbour was safe for ice-skaters because the water around the harbour was stagnant – it did not flow as in the nearby moat.
