Found this in a book 'These Tremendous Times 1919 -
1938' (published by Daily Express Publications 1938)and wrongly captioned "..German Fleet scuttled in Scapa Flow.."
I maybe totally wrong but the land in the middle distance would seem to show Lamb Holm with Graemeshall in the distance. Could the wrecks shown be (foreground) the 'Almeria', sunk as a blockship on 20 February 1915 and behind, the 'Teeswood' sunk on 19 September 1914?
Any other suggestions?
