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.

An outstanding source of information on the wrecks of Scapa Flow, reflecting their current state. With the increasing use of nitrox and trimix to achieve greater depths there are also surveys of HMS Hampshire and HMS Strathgarry.
