The same progress was visible at sea ; for the first regular fleet which Peter had built, and fitted out under his own command, attack- ed a Swedish fleet commanded by vice-admi- ral Ehrenchield ; and, though the Swedes were much older sailors, their metal heavier, and their commander an officer of great skill and experience, they were completely defeat- ed, most of their ships taken, and the admiral himself made prisoner....
