This is a comprehensive and fully revised guide to the Orkney wrecks - the intact
remains of the scuttled German fleet, U-boats, steamers, tugs and Churchill's
"Blockships". The author uses a mixture of historical narrative of the scuttling and
subsequent salvage to describe the events at the end of World War I. The book
includes details of the site and studies much deeper wrecks, with special emphasis on
HMS Hampshire, only reached with the advent of "technical diving". Information on
charterers, travel and Accommodation is also included.
"A very impressive and concise guide to diving Scapa Flow
From the beginning, it is obvious the author has done his research. Accompanied with
photos taken by the author, the reader is taken through each wreck with detail paid to
the history of the vessel and the fate that it befell. The book is not only an interesting
read but a genuinely useful source of information for the prospective diver." Paul Wilson
