An item referred to the report of the American Military Attaché major G.E. Arneman dealing with the summer manoeuvres of the Russian Baltic Fleet and which was received by G/2 W.D. on 31 January 1929. Arneman wrote while using a Finnish source that in the morning of 2 September the 3-masts 800 ton training ship Utcheba [meaning of Utcheba is study/education so probably not her own name] stranded at Lavansaari [island Mosjtsniy/Moshchny Island and was abandoned by her crew when seh was wrecked.
