A list dated 17 November 1939 was dealing with ships and floating equipment captured by the Germans in the Polish coastal area. With the German ship breaking company Gemeinschaft Bremerhaven was negotiated about scrapping the ships and equipment not wanted by the military leader of the salvage group. Captured ships not owned by the Polish government were due to the war considered as war prizes and could be used for service. Ships not used for military purposed could be returned for economic reasons to their owners. An item reported the Polish torpedo boat Mazur with a displacement of 360 tons and a speed of 26 miles. She was salvaged in the old navy harbour at Gdynia [called Gotenhafen by Germans] and beached in swallow water. Broken in two parts was she not worth to be repaired and decided was to scrap her.
