New documentary marks anniversary of naval disaster

The sinking of the HMS Royal Oak, which was sunk with the loss of 835 lives when it was torpedoed at Scapa Flow and the anniversary of one of the Royal Navy’s largest single losses of life has been marked with a special documentary produced by University of Dundee experts. The documentary called ‘Fallen Oak’ charts the civilian divers who used highly specialised visualisation technology to document the wreck. Project leader Professor Rowland describes the project as “a highlight of my experience in shipwreck visualisation.”
