The maps provide insight into the comprehensive defensive networks during WWI and WWII and detail Booms, AA Batteries, Searchlights, Radar stations, Coastal Batteries, Blockships and Anti-submarine/torpedo boat nets around Scapa Flow and throughout the Orkneys Islands. All these static and non-static defences created the largest fortified naval base in the world. Having once dived in Scapa Flow I find the maps of interest and would certainly use the book as a guide if I was lucky enough to go there again.
