Morska Wola

Morska Wola was a Polish settlement, located in Brazil, in the state of Paraná.

[1] The League purchased land from local Indigenous Brazilian tribes and carried out an extensive promotional campaign in Poland, trying to attract settlers.

The idea was abandoned in 1938, when it became clear that those Poles interested in settling in South America, preferred Argentina or Paraguay.

The Polish ship, MS Morska Wola was named after the settlement.

[2] She worked shipped lines from Gdynia to South America before serving in Atlantic convoys during the Second World War; she was scrapped in 1959.
