Scapa

This vivid history chronicles the legendary Royal Navy base through WWI and WWII with eyewitness accounts and photos—“a fascinating book” ( Scots Magazine ). Scapa Flow was one of the greatest naval bases in history. Located in the Orkney Islands, it played a vital role in the two great wars of the twentieth century. It was from there that the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet sailed to Jutland in 1916. It was also the site of The Great Scuttle of the German High Seas Fleet after the First World War. Lor
