The ships of the open sea fleet…

November 1788 CE

The ships of the open sea fleet had had to set sail for Karlskrona, as Sveaborg could not repair and refit them.

However, preparations and unsuitable weather had delayed departure until November 20, when the sea at Sveaborg was already frozen over and some ships had to be freed by sawing the ice open for them.

The fleet, however, reaches Karlskrona one week later without any losses, just days before this port also freezes over.
