What is recorded here
Scapa Flow is shown as a battlefield on the public map of Orkney Islands. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
The Battle of Scapa Flow took place in October 1939 during World War II, when Nazi Germany attempted to attack the British Royal Navy fleet stationed in the Scottish Orkney Islands. The attack failed due to a combination of bad weather, navigational errors, and effective British defenses, marking an early but significant Allied success in the Battle of the Atlantic.
