De svenska kanonbetjäningarna fick svårt att sikta medan de ryska fartygen låg still och kunde besvara elden. Linjeskeppet Prins Carl kom för nära den ryska linjen, fick delar av både rigg och roder sönderskjutna och tvingades ankra och därefter kapitulera.
[The Swedish gunners had difficulty aiming while the Russian ships remained stationary and were able to return fire. The ship of the line Prins Carl came too close to the Russian line, had parts of both its rigging and rudder shot to pieces, and was forced to anchor and then surrender.]
