Scapa is one of Britain's most historical shipping areas, the name dating from Norse times. She is littered with colourful and significant wrecks. On the 21st June 1919, 51 ships of the German High Seas fleet were scuttled in Scapa Flow without loss of life. The wrecks are protected under British law, but divers are allowed to visit. The remains of the High Seas fleet attract hundreds of divers each year.
