Here's the link to some more information (in polish only) about Motorfyrskib No. II: http://oficynamorska.kei.pl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=904&Itemid=44
It states, the ship was still remaining by the shipyard pier without any restoration in progress. Apparently sunk few times during this time. Sad story...
