Scapa Flow

Scapa Flow is a large natural harbor located in the Orkney Islands of Scotland. It has historically been an important naval base due to its strategic position, providing a sheltered area for ships to anchor and operate safely away from the open sea. Used extensively by the British Royal Navy during both World Wars, it played a key role in maritime defense and operations. Today, Scapa Flow is known for its calm waters, rich maritime history, and as a popular spot for diving to explore wrecks of sunken ships from its military past.
