A Swedish battle fleet, which had been expelling Russians from Gotland, had been ordered to blockade the Hangö Peninsula and had reached the cape on June 10.
Due to bad weather and bad visibility, the fleet under Admiral Cedeström had chosen to stay relatively far from the coast.
After approaching the coast on June 21 Cedeström learns that the Russians had already passed the cape some time earlier.
Attempts to stop the Russians deeper in the archipelago do not succeed either.
Failure to stop the Russians leads the king to relieve Cederström from his duties and replace him with Admiral Nauckhoff.
