The British blockade of Germany was unusual, a first-of-its-kind in the history of warfare. Traditionally, blockading ships remained at sea just outside enemy ports to attack any ship coming in or going out.

In WW1 the Royal Navy, while frequently patrolling the North Sea that separated Great Britain from German ports, remained in port most of the time. The mere existence of the powerful British fleet and its proximity kept the German High Seas Fleet at home.

Also, the Royal Navy had broken German codes and therefore knew when the German were coming out.

The Royal Navy also heavily mined international waters to prevent shipping from reaching Germany
