The first through deck aircraft carrier the HMS Argus. The snapshot likely taken late 1918 to early 1919. She is still using her dazzle paint scheme.

As seen from a likely tender, SMS Bayern is at anchor in Scapa Flow in rather poor condition. By the time of the scuttling, anything of value that could be easily removed had been traded away on the black market.

For decades, companies salvaged the steel because it was forged before nuclear testing and had zero radioactive contamination.

Hospitals used it in medical imaging equipment.

Even now, the most sensitive scientific detectors need pre-nuclear steel.

My granddad was in the Royal Marines Light Infantry in WW1, I think in Scapa Flow, & possibly manning a shore battery.

Hackness Martello Tower. The image shows a circular stone structure in the right middle of the frame. It is accessed by external metal stairs on its left and surmounted by a flagpole with a light blue flag. The foreground is grassy and there are some buildings and the sea in the background. The sky is blue.

The view east from the slopes of Wee Fea on the island of Hoy in Orkney, taking in Lyness and, beyond it, Scapa Flow and the islands of Fara and Flotta. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot...

#Scotland #Hoy #Lyness #ScapaFlow #Flotta #Orkney
Lyness and Scapa Flow. The view looks down from a hillside in sunshine over a stand of trees towards a scattered settlement on the near shore of a body of water. An oil tank is prominent in the centre of the settlement. There are a number of islands in the body of water, with more oil tanks visible on one of them.
