Marking the 100th anniversary of the scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa Flow, David Meara draws on archive material - including a previously unpublished first-hand account - to bring the story to life.

David Meara is a retired Church of England clergyman who worked in the Oxford Diocese for 27 years, and then served as Rector of St. Bride's Fleet Street and Archdeacon of London until 2014. He has made a lifetime study of church movements and brasses and has published extensively on the subject. He has always had a passion for railways, has traveled extensively over the network in Britain, and has traveled regularly on the Anglo-Scottish sleepers since the late 1950s.
