Summary

WA Coastal and Marine was commissioned by Historic Scotland to provide high resolution multibeam bathymetry data targeted on a number of wreck sites in Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands. The list of targets were provided by Historic Scotland, ordered by priority, based on the importance of the wreck and the lack of prior survey at each site. A total of 18 wrecks were surveyed and assessed over the course this project. 16 have been identified. The two remaining unidentified wrecks are both located in Burra Sound and are isolated pieces of wreck material, which may be associated with recorded losses in the area.
