Nauta shipyard in Gdynia - German anchor

[Flynavy68]

Hello

Let me introduce myself. My name is Jarek and I am leading a team of people responsible for oraganization of 100 year anniversay of our yard - Nauta Shiprepair Yard in Gdynia. One of the task is preperation of an album.

In the album we want to include some information about the World War II times. Our facility was used by Deutsche Werke Kiel- Werk Gotenhafen which conducted repair operations of German vessels. Couple years ago during dredging operations in our yard we found an anchor from German vessel (Kriegsmarine symbol is found on it). The anchor has description  M/N4715 from one side and 25001/1942/KMX from another side.
Can you help us to identify from what vessel is this anchor.
Maybe somebody has the list of vessels repaired in Deutsche Werke Kiel- Werk Gotenhafen? Any photos we could use?
My email address is j.staluszka@nauta.pl. Any help would be highly welcommed.

Just an assumption:
Maybe it's one of the removed 'Stevenanker'.

Hello,
great to know there will be a publication on the 100 year history of Gdynia shipyard. Does it date back to May 1927? Only date I found in the sources I had access to. Think main business started with the former Blohm & Voss Floating Dock 1 bought in 1929.
Anyway rearding WW II think beside the daughter facility of Deutsche Werke Kiel AG (all stocks state owned) also a Naval Arsenal (Kriegsmarinearsenal) directly run by the Navy. Plus the bulding site used by Gutehoffnungshuette for the assembling of 3 floating docks for the Navy. Also the Walther company from Kiel set up a facility at Hela with one or two small floating docks.
All the best for your publication and kind regards
Markus
