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 1-400 tons floating dock which was salvaged in the new navy harbour at Gdynia [called Gotenhafen by Germans]. It was yet unknown for which purpose she was to be used. Probably for docking of S- and E-boats by the Ausrüstungstelle Gotenhafen.
