Three Royal Navy submarines bolster Russian morale when sent to the Baltic region in 1914

HMS E9 and E11 sailed to force a passage in the Baltic, although E11 had to return home after a sighting by an enemy seaplane. HMS E1 then entered the Baltic and proceeded to Libau. Other submarines joined them at Lapvik, placed under the orders of the Russian Commander in Chief.
