Home to the British Home Fleet during the First World War, Scapa Flow was also where the surrended German Navy was scuttled in 1919. Many ships were salvaged but some 12 still remain and are dived on. In 1939, the Royal Oak was spectacularly sunk by Gunter Prien and is now a war grave. Campbell McCutcheon tells the story of the ships of Scapa Flow. This book tells the soty of Scapa Flow with some 150 images of the harbour and the ships that made it famous, showing them in peace and war, and the salvage of the German fleet.
