Floating dock at Gdynia, Poland captured by German forces in September 1939

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 1-2.500 tons floating dock lying in basin II of the old shipyard at Gdynia [called Gotenhafen by Germans] ready for service. The shipyard at Danzig claimed her as property. Decided was to leave her at Gdyia until the salvage activities were completed and to wait for further discussions with the shipyard at Danzig.
