| Info from the Swedish Marine chef about White Boats departure to Lübeck. |
The White Boats and ex-Kriegsmarine minesweepers were assembled in Trelleborg on June 22nd, and shortly after they sailed for Lübeck, approx. 150 nautical miles, and the time for the voyage 13 - 14 hours. White Boats were escorted from Trelleborg over the Baltic by German, ex-Kriegsmarine minesweepers with their original crews.
While the White Boats were being fitted with German devices against acoustic mines (the message), the first patients arrived at the Swedish Transit Hospital in Lübeck.
