back to the 18th century, Krotov demonstrates that the Russian fleet launched only one massive attack on the Swedish position. He states that the number of Russian casualties as reported by the Swedish officer C. G. Tornquist is hugely inflated and increased from 127 men killed and 347 wounded, a figure supported by documentary evidence, to 3,000 dead and 1,600 wounded, which is more than the number of Russian sailors engaged in the fighting. Furthermore, despite the Swedish claim that only 60 Russian galleys made their way to Åbo due to severe damage, it is known from wartime sources that all the galleys sailed there on 1 August 1714 in full force.

Further he ordered that fleet should not engage unless it would have clear superiority in artillery (3:2). 1404: 171: 160: 109: 44: 1115: 1342: 1071:. Apraksin decided to withdraw his ships farther away to the eastern side of the peninsula and call for reinforcements while he waited for the further 20 galleys to arrive from Helsingfors where they had been over the winter. The majority of the troops in Turku were moved according to his request to the peninsula. 1321:. The small Russian galleys were easily maneuvered, whereas it was exceedingly difficult to try to turn the heavy Swedish battleships in such weather.
