Fate of Polish cargo ship Tezew unknown 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 the Polish cargo ship Tezew salvaged at Gdynia [called Gotenhafen by Germans], heavily damaged but seemed to be worth to be repaired. A decision what her fate would be was to wait after further examination.
