June 7, 1854. Kokkola city militia defeated the world's mightiest sea empire in battle. Captured English warship still stands at the Kokkola's market square as warning for all possible invaders.
Skirmish of Halkokari - June 07, 1854
Davidsbergin kahakka - September 09, 1855
S02 E13
The battle was actually just a minor local skirmish, main war was fought in the Crimean peninsula. The city militia were assisted by a large number of regular troops and artillery, and the captured warship is only modest barkass, or a large rowing boat.
But the British landing was repelled. And since the Crimean War has gone quite badly for the Russiana, this victory gain lot of attention all over the vast empire.
