With an introduction by the admiral in administrative charge of the base, this pictorial record follows Scapa Flow through the First World War. It covers the building of the anchorage, scenes around Orkney including Kirkwall’s cathedral, the life of the Grand Fleet, and the interned German ships whose end in the Flow closes the story.
