Sharing a few photos from our recent Scapa trip!
The wrecks aren’t just fascinating on their own, they’re full of life too. Most are covered in colorful sea anemones, and we even spotted lobsters, velvet crabs, and lots more along the way.
It’s so cool to see these old ships slowly turning into underwater homes for so many creatures!

'Korrosion' #FotoVorschlag
Die SS Reginald wurde 1915 vor der Bucht #ScapaFlow als #Blockship zum Schutz vor deutschen U-Booten versenkt und erfüllte diesen Zweck auch noch als Teil der #ChurchillBarriers im 2. Weltkrieg. Heute dienen die rostigen Überreste nicht nur dem Erinnern, sondern auch Möwen und Eissturmvögeln zum Brüten und Küstenfischern für den Fang irgendwelcher Krebstiere.
