About this spot
The Churchill Barriers, a series of reinforced concrete causeways spanning the narrowest channels leading into Scapa Flow, were constructed during World War II to prevent German submarines from entering the strategic anchorage.
The stark remains of the SS Reginal, a steamship deliberately sunk to block East Weddell Sound, stand as a poignant reminder of the wartime measures taken to safeguard the British fleet.
Today, the barriers and the sunken ship provide a fascinating glimpse into military history and offer a unique photographic opportunity.
