The Cursed Baltic Fleet of 1905 

This week we follow the not at all cursed from the beginning voyage of the Russian Baltic Fleet. Russia had needed a warm water port FOREVER, the Baltic Sea, freezes. They would eventually lease a port from the Chinese buuuuuuut, the Japanese didn’t much care for that and attacked the Russian ships in China. Within A DAY of the Baltic Fleet setting sail they had damaged 3 of their own ships. A week in they hit the North Sea, specifically a stretch between England and Denmark called Dogger Bank which was well known for the commercial fishing industry. Do you see where this is going yet? It goes exactly where you think… Then it gets even worse for the Russians… Enjoy.
