In the years of independent Republic of Latvia (1918–1940) Ainaži was revitalized. The Ainaži fleet, sunken in the war, had completely barricaded the harbor and had to be removed.
During Latvia's period of independence (1918–1940), Ainaži was rejuvenated. The Ainaži fleet, which had been submerged during the conflict, had effectively closed the harbor and needed to be taken out.
