Scope and Content The wreck site of a pinnace was first formally documented in the Scapa Flow 2013 Marine Archaeology Survey. In this Scapa Discovery survey the site was further investigated using teams of divers. Data collected included tape measurements from known reference points for later analysis in Site Recorder, photographic images for later use in video mosaicing and log sheets/notes from the dives undertaken. Environmental surveys were also undertaken with professional marine biologists using standard MNCR Phase 2 survey forms and volunteer divers using the Seasearch Survey level method. In situ recording was further supported by the use of macro photography for representative fauna and flora. Video mosaic techniques were employed to stitch images together to create a photographic site record. Information from the historical archive was collected by Kevin Heath and this information included in the report.
