All About this great natural harbour., 28 May 2007
A complete history of Scapa Flow from the early days of Viking invasion and their being replaced by Scotsmen right up to the 20th Century and it's two world wars - which, of course, included the sinking of the German High Seas Fleet in 1919 and the raising of much of that fleet some years later.
Whilst this book is an historic document, at the same time it should also be considered by any visiting tourist - especially the scuba diving tourist.
An excellent narrative combines well with an equally excellent collection of photographs - although most of these were of Military/Naval subjects and only two of local farmers and fishing industry. My only criticism is that lack of photographic evidence of life in Scapa Flow and early pictures of the towns and buildings.
