The Squadron is heading to Liepāja

In Copenhagen, Sinclair meets with the British Consul Lord Kilmarnock and the Estonian Ambassador Karl Menning to receive an update on the situation. This is the Admiral’s first conversation with a representative of the Republic of Estonia, who describes the critical state his country is in. He urges the British squadron to set sail for Tallinn as soon as possible to support the Provisional Government and prevent Estonia being occupied by the Bolsheviks. The squadron arrives in Liepāja harbour on 1 December, but Sinclair does not risk leading it north of Liepāja due to the threat from mines.
