Battle of Palva Sund

17–18 September 1808, Palva Sund, north of Turku

Indecisive; the Swedish landing at Lokalahti withdrawn

The Swedes landed troops at Lokalahti, on the mainland north of Turku, to strike at the Russian army's communications, and the coastal fleet covered them from the sound of Palva. It held off the Russian flotilla for two days, but the landing force was driven back and re-embarked, and the last Swedish attempt to regain a foothold in Finland came to nothing.
