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 Podhalanin (A III type) grounded in shallow water between Hela and Heisternest [=Jastarnia]. Her condition was unknown. Near by her were two dredgers lying, probably Belgian. Salvage would be very difficult while salvage vessels could not enter the scene. It was impossible to check if repairing of her was an option. The Marinebergungsgruppe tested if it was possible while using the two dredgers to free her from the mud and if these efforts were worth it. Problem was that the ownership of the dredgers was to be solved. On 21 December 1939 was said that the salvage of the former German A III vessel was to be speed up.
