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,
while the author also considers new diving opportunities created by increasing
use of nitrox and trimix amongst sport divers. With a special surveys of
the 68m-deep HMS Hampshire and 58-deep HMS Strathgarry were conducted for
the book, which must rank as the top source on Scapa Flow diving at the
close of the millenium. Illustrated in colour and black-and-white. |
