Yesterday there were commemorations in Scapa Flow on the 100th anniversary of the scuttling of the German Fleet. A number of German navy personnel lost their lives. They are buried in the Naval Cemetray at Lyness on Hoy and remembrances were made there.
There's a link to a
BBC News item
And to an
animation of the 1991 scuttling of the fleet
The
Scapa 100 Facebook page also has some interesting info
Fascinating. I have a letter from a distant ancestor who was one of the children from Stromness on The Kestrel
