If you've never heard of her, shame on you, but Priens prize is still leaking oil today. What really got me though, is the following report by the BBC, which shows a detailed 3D image of what she looks like now.

Yeah I knew about the oil and the trouble getting it out of the internal tanks ut that sonar 3d model was awesome

Nice find :up:

Wonder what the rest of the Scapa floor is like with the blockships and WW1 Ge ships still down there

Interesting stuff. I always enjoyed heading into Scapa Flow.
