Ritter Sankt Georg was commanded by Admiral Arend Dickmann, while Hieronim Teschke was the skipper.

Ritter Sankt Georg itself sustained the damages in the battle, including being hit three times under the waterline.

The rest of the Polish-Lithuanian ships retreated up the river, with the exception of Gelber Löwe which was also destroyed in the battle.
