Summary[edit]

Description

Using a specially converted German dry dock and rows of powerful winches, Cox used the ebb and flow of the tides to naturally lift ships before the final journey to Lyness to strip off much of the excess structure before they were towed south to Rosyth to scrapyards.

As the spring tidal difference was between ten to twelve foot, Cox’s men could take up the slack and then take their load into shallower waters where the entire process could be repeated. <a href="https://www.scapaflow1919.com/understanding-the-scuttle/the-greatest-salvage-of-all-time/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.scapaflow1919.com/understanding-the-scuttle/the-great...</a>
