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 training ship Smok with a displacement of 655 ton and a speed of 12,5 miles. She was lying sunk in the navy harbour of Hela. She seemed to be built as a large tug and probably in good condition. The Bergungsgruppe Gotenhafen (German for Gdyna) wanted to salvage her. Afterwards was to decide what to do with her.
