		This incident created an acute crisis in the relations between Russia and England for several days, the Russian version being that they had seen Japanese torpedo-boats, but on the 28th Mr Balfour, the English prime minister, announced that the tsar had expressed.

		Apparently, not only were the average Russian sailors totally untrained in observation at sea, but also their gullible officers seemed inclined to accept all sightings at face value.
		During the Dogger Bank incident, Hough notes that the Russian flagship at one point was firing on a British fishing boat only 100 yards away and continued to misidentify it as a Japanese torpedo boat!
		Essentially, the incident was a result of inadequate Russian training and paranoia.

		Coming from the City of Hull, which along with the town of Grimsby on the South bank of the river, both being major trawling ports, I am acutely aware that neither port has never been far away from tragedy and sadness over many years.
		Although fishing communities become accustomed to these events, the sadness that they bring never diminishes and the ability of these communities to stand together to give support in times of need always has and always will be very strong.

		The existence of those provisions enabled the Governments of Great Britain and Russia to avoid war, notwithstanding great public excitement, at the time of the Dogger Bank incident, and the new convention agreed upon by the Conference gives practical effect to the experience gained in that inquiry.
		Substantial progress was also made towards the creation of a permanent judicial tribunal for the determination of international causes.

		This was an attempt by the British Empire to re-jig the alliances of Europe in its favour and create the Triple Entente by setting Japan on Russia, but it was a high risk strategy, and could easily spiral out of control if the fighting spread to Europe.

		The fallacy of this assumption (the proposal to arm large liners such as Mauretania, Lusitania etc) was revealed early in the First World War, though later, and in the 1939-45 War, some smaller vessels were armed to protect convoys against submarines.) There are examples of cruisers of this period in Rotterdam and St Petersburg (Aurora).

		On the night of 8-9/21-22 October 1904, as the Russian fleet sailed through the Dogger Bank off the coast of Denmark, some panicky Russian gunners opened fire on British fishing trawlers in the belief that they were (or were hiding in their midst) Japanese torpedo boats.
		The Dogger Bank (or Hull) Incident became a huge scandal (and perhaps a clear testament to the incompetence of the Russian Navy) as the British Navy then actually chased down the Russian fleet and blockaded it in a port in Spain until diplomacy resolved the issue.
		After what could only have seemed to have been an endless voyage, the Russian fleet reached the vicinity of the Yellow Sea.

		The Russians feared the "Mongol Hordes" and the Japanese, who had defeated Russia in the War of 1905, the first war in which an Asian power proved to have technological superiority over a European country.
