On November 21, the wooden sail gunship carrying the Tsar's Envoy arrived at the nearest port to Brandenburg after a day's journey.
As the gunboat was about to approach the port, a wooden sail battleship appeared on the northeast side of the gunboat. At the same time, several shallow water gunboats sailed from the port towards the gunboat where Alexander Menshikov was.
The captain responsible for piloting the gunboat quickly informed Alexander Menshikov of this news.
"Don't worry! Let them approach us!" Alexander Menshikov responded indifferently.
Under Alexander Menshikov's order, the gunboat stopped, and the wooden sail battleship and the shallow water gunboats approached Alexander Menshikov's ship.
A wooden boat was slowly lowered into the water from the shallow water gunboat, and the marines on the wooden boat rowed towards Alexander Menshikov's gunboat. With the help of Tsarist Russian sailors, they successfully boarded the gunboat.
