The raid was an attempt by the British Royal Navy to block the Belgian port of Bruges-Zeebrugge. The port was an important base for the German navy's U-boats, which were causing significant damage to Allied shipping. The plan was to sink obsolete ships in the canal entrance to prevent German vessels from leaving port. The raid was only partially successful. While the British did manage to sink two ships, the canal was not effectively blocked, and the Germans were able to move their U-boat operations elsewhere. The Zeebrugge Raid was a daring plan and involved significant bravery from the British forces involved. It was heavily publicized in Britain as a heroic act of defiance against German submarine warfare. Despite its limited military success, the raid provided a much-needed morale boost for the British public." ... [ ¶ Raids sur Zeebrugge-Ostende, Belgique, 1918.
