Scapa

Více o knize

Through two world wars, Scapa Flow was the main anchorage of the world's greatest battlefleet - the British Home Fleet. This magnificent setting saw some of the great dramatic events of the 20th century take place, including Kitchener's last farewell before setting sail on the Hampshire to his death, the sailing of the fleet to Jutland, and the surrender and scuttling of the German High Seas Fleet. Less remarked but equally extraordinary is the raising of the battlefleet between the wars in one of the greatest salvage operation in history.
