I found this web site rather interesting and very well compiled...


Scapa Flow : Historic Wreck Site

Scapa Flow ranks as one of the world’s top diving destinations, but many people who will never even get their feet wet are fascinated with what lies beneath its surface.

This website provides the definitive guide to the maritime archaeology and history of Scapa Flow. It results from a collaborative project involving maritime archaeologists, divers, dive boat operators and historians – their expert local knowledge has helped ensure that the site is as accurate and useful as possible.
