Scope and Content This project was undertaken by ORCA (University of the Highlands and Islands Archaeology Institute) and SULA Diving Ltd on behalf of Historic Environment Scotland (HES). It represents the second phase of work to gather data on the seabed remains left behind following the salvage of the German High Seas Fleet, which was interned and subsequently scuttled in Scapa Flow, Orkney, in June 1919. The salvage process that followed the scuttling was an unprecedented achievement and represents another fascinating aspect of Scapa Flow’s maritime heritage. Phase 2 continued the ground-truthing process for the remaining sites detected in Phase 1 sonar surveys. The overall aim of the Scapa Flow Salvage Sites Project was to determine what remains of the many vessels of the German High Seas Fleet that were salvaged in the years that followed their scuttling in June 1919.
