It is probably true to say that be- fore the war no such undertaking would have been embarked upon. But one of the legacies of the world struggle has been a great practical experience in the task of recovering sunken vessels, and a wonderful development in the ideas and the equipment for carrying out this work. Salvage companies, of course, have been in existence for many years, and have done some remarkable work in the way of raising apparently hopeless wrecks. But what might have been

In Scapa Flow the conditions are favourable to salvage. In all, ten battleships, five battle-cruisers, five lighteruisers, and twenty-nine des- troyers were put down by their German crews. Their total dis- placement is 416,060 tons, and it is computed that more than two- thirds of this will repay for lifting. The "show ship,” Hindenburg, and the great "Savdlitz" will probably be left undisturbed, as the water in which they lie is beyond work- able depth.
