#AskMarkThis week on the podcast, The death of an 18-year-old on his first scuba dive has led to the biggest workplace fine in the history of the US state of Minnesota. Specialist police searches are being carried out in north Wales for a diver identified only as Imrich, 53, from Warrington in Cheshire. British divers among the seven people still unaccounted for after the sinking of the Sea Story liveaboard in Egypt have been named. The Coastguard has stood down a multi-agency search for a scuba diver who went missing in Scapa Flow, leaving Police Scotland to continue with its own investigation.https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/record-fine-for-firm-that-left-teen-solo-on-first-dive/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/diver-searches-continue-in-wales-orkney/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/british-divers-missing-from-sea-story-named/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/multi-agency-search-for-scapa-diver-called-off/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/new-company-takes-over-scubaverse/Websitehttps://www.scubadivermag.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/scubadivermagazine/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/scubadivermag/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScubaDiverMagazine/Scuba Diver Magazinescubadivermag.com/subscriptions

#AskMarkThis week on the podcast, the remains of a diver have been found in the stomach of a shark but, relatives stress that it was not the shark that killed her. A coroner has concluded that while the death of a scuba diver in Scapa Flow was accidental, it could have been prevented had appropriate equipment checks been carried out before entering the water. A search and rescue operation was launched in Mexico's Yucatan peninsula when a solo cave-diver went missing in one of the cenotes, and there has been some nice news also.https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/female-divers-body-parts-found-in-shark/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/disconnected-hose-caused-scapa-divers-death/ https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/diver-dies-in-mexico-on-solo-cenote-probe/ https://divernet.com/scuba-news/conservation/meet-steve-backshall-one-of-many-bite-back-prizes/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/freediving/ukrainian-freediver-sets-no-fins-world-record/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/british-diver-dies-in-malta-2/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/wrecks/dive-team-solve-dorset-pin-wreck-mystery/https://fourthelement.com/product/pelagic-watch/Websitehttps://www.scubadivermag.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/scubadivermagazine/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/scubadivermag/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScubaDiverMagazine/Scuba Diver Magazinescubadivermag.com/subscriptions

Episode 47: Avril Devaney MBEAvril Devaney MBE was born in Lancashire and always knew as a child that she wanted to work with people, especially those who tended to be marginalised. She initially embarked on a pre social work course but applied for mental health nurse training after doing a placement on a mental health ward and realising that, in mental health care, your biggest clinical intervention is your relationship with the person you are caring for. She qualified in 1986 and worked her way up to a community sisters post where she was instrumental in developing the first community based drug and alcohol services. In 1999 she received the Queen's Nursing Institute Award for Innovation after establishing a mental health nursing service in police custody suites. In 2000 she was named as one of the top 100 nurses to mark the Queen Mother's 100th birthday. In 2001 she moved to North Wales and began to work in Cheshire and Wirral. By 2003 Avril had been appointed to the role of Director Of Nursing where she continued to innovate and find ways to help people live their fullest lives. In 2005 she met her future husband, Jim on a scuba diving holiday in the challenging waters of Scapa Flow in Scotland. They married and had their son Jamie in 2007 when Avril was 42. Avril also completed her MSC in Health and Social Care that same year.Avril established a link with a mental health ward in South West Uganda in 20010. Sadly Jamie died after a short illness during a family holiday and fundraising trip to Uganda in 2011. Determined to find the meaning in this terrible loss Avril and Jim, along with close friends and colleagues, established a charity in Jamie's memory that went from working with one hospital in 2011 to 25 hospitals by 2023 and has been instrumental in helping to shape and develop mental health care across Uganda - touching countless lives. In 2015 Avril and Jim adopted two boys, Alex and Daniel. Avril received an MBE in the Queen's New Year Honours 2016 for services to Mental Health Nursing after leading projects to challenge stigma and to establish the first smoke free hospital trust in England- helping to change attitudes and extending the lives of people with mental illness. Avril contributed to several national nursing initiatives and received the Chief Nursing Officer's Gold award in 2019. Avril retired aged 55 to spend more time with Alex and Daniel. She is now a full time mum, wife and jam maker. #HYGYSTPOD #haveyougotyoursh*ttogether #HYGYST #caitlinoryan #AvrilDevaneyMBEHave You Got Your Sh*t Together? with Caitlin O'Ryan, is a podcast that celebrates not having your sh*t together!

The Riddle of the Sands by Erskine Childers audiobook. Containing many realistic details based on Childers' own sailing trips along the German North Sea coast, the book is the retelling of a yachting expedition in the early 20th century combined with an adventurous spy story. It was one of the early invasion novels which predicted war with Germany and called for British preparedness. The plot involves the uncovering of secret German preparations for an invasion of the United Kingdom. It is often called the first modern spy novel, although others are as well, it was certainly very influential in the genre and for its time. The book enjoyed immense popularity in the years before World War I and was extremely influential. Winston Churchill later credited it as a major reason that the Admiralty decided to establish naval bases at Invergordon, the Firth of Forth and Scapa Flow.

Alexis de Rougé "L'ombre de l'amiral; des cataractes du Nil aux fureurs du Jutland" ,(Balland 2022) "L'ombre de l'Amiral" évoque la période entre le XIXème et le XXème siècle  où l'oon suit le parcours de l'amiral Beatty et de son jeune compagnon soudanais, Goodluck, le héros de ce roman. Enfant des collines Noubas au Soudan qui rêve de bateau et de mer, il est capturé comme esclave et emmené à Khartoum où il assiste à la conquête de la ville par les mahdistes (secte islamiste) malgré la résistance héroïque du Général Gordon en 1884. Esclave, il travaille sur les bateaux à vapeur du Nil, il s'échappe et se réfugie auprès des troupes anglaises du général Kitchener où il fait la connaissance de Beatty, alors jeune lieutenant le la Royal Navy, à qui il sauve la vie.  Le héros suivra ce grand amiral de la flotte britannique pendant 23 ans sur des navires jusqu'en Chine, auprès de la famille royale, pendant la grande guerre où il affronte la flotte allemande à la bataille navale du Jutland…  Il y sera capturé par l'ennemi. Dans les ports allemands il assistera aux prémices de la révolution spartakiste avant d'être libéré. Il retrouvera son amiral pour recueillir la reddition de la flotte du Kaiser, puis assistera à Scapa Flow en Ecosse, à son sabordage. Traversant ces considérables événements, il ne cessera de réfléchir à son destin singulier et aux motivations profondes qui font agir les hommes dans ces situations extrêmes. Il finira sa carrière, rythmée par les navires sur lesquels il a servi, riche de rencontres (Gordon, Kitchener, Churchill, Virginia Woolf, Georges V, Nicolas II, l'amiral von Meurer, Howard Carter,...) comme commandant du « Sudan » steamer de luxe construit par thomas Cook, sur le Nil où il assistera aux événements liés à la découverte de la tombe de Toutankhamon, avant de se retirer au Soudan pour y finir sa vie.

La Real Armada Británica prefirió hacer grupos de caza -submarinos utilizando portaaviones, cruceros y destructores. Lo de escoltar convoyes no es para el aguerrido marino británico. Pero la jugada les salió mal. El ataque al Ark Royal y al Courageous puso en alerta a Churchill. Y para rematar, el U-47 se coló hasta la cocina en Scapa Flow, destruyó al Royal Oak, y se marchó sin ser molestado. Los pocos submarinos alemanes que había en servicio también acosaban constantemente a los buques de transporte solitarios, y Raeder y Dönitz se frotaban las manos. Esto acaba de empezar, y un arma barata es capaz de poner en jaque a costosos buques capitales, y tal vez en un futuro, ahogar a Gran Bretaña. La 'Batalla' más larga de la 2GM, fue una extensa campaña de desgaste donde los alemanes atacarían al comercio de Reino Unido en el Atlántico Norte, y los Aliados sólo se podían defender. Los submarinos alemanes son los lobos, y los convoys los ratones. Comienza la Saga de la Batalla del Atlántico.

In this episode we set sail with Neil to visit one of the world's great natural harbours, Scapa Flow in Orkney. This vast harbour is a beautifully bleak, windswept spot drench in drama, tragedy and power. For thousands of years, it played a vital role in maritime travel, trade and conflict. The Vikings anchored in its safe waters in the C11th. The British admiralty enlisted it in the Napoleonic wars. And in the First World War it was home to Britain's Grand Fleet, before being pressed into service once again in the 2nd world war. In the First World War the entire, surrendered German navy was scuttled here in an extraordinary act of sabotage.

The Battle of Jutland was the decisive naval clash of the First World War, pitting the German High Seas Fleet against the Royal Navy's Grand Fleet in an all or nothing battle for supremacy and survival. At the end of the war, the defeated German fleet was scuttled at Scapa Flow. Or so we thought. New evidence suggests that wrecks in Portsmouth harbour, previously thought to be nondescript vessels, are in fact German veterans of the Battle of Jutland, scrapped at Portsmouth rather than Scotland. Dan Snow joins a team of marine archaeologists to explore these wrecks. But will he make it across the treacherous mud to reach them?© Vic Verlinden See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today we have none other than HMS Belfast. Moored today just upstream of Tower Bridge, Belfast is a true icon of the London skyline and Thames riverscape.A Royal Navy 'Town Class' Light Cruiser, Belfast was launched in 1938; she played a crucial role in blockading Germany at the start of the war, operating from Scapa Flow in Orkney; became part of a naval strike force base in Rosyth; took part in the Battle of the North Cape in 1943, in which the German battleship Scharnhorst was tracked down and sunk; took part in the operation against Germany's last surviving capital ship, the Tirpitz; and she is is one of only three remaining vessels from the bombardment fleet which supported the Normandy landings on DDay in June 1944. The case for Belfast being 'iconic' is made by Robert Rumble, lead curator of HMS Belfast at London's Imperial War Museum. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Please welcome to the show Patrick Danko, who has been working with Garmin since 2005 and, after learning to dive with his wife, helped spearhead the Descent program with Garmin. The boys dig into dive computer culture, how to design a dive computer that is also a full-time watch, and Patrick offers both a complete breakdown of the new Descent MK2's impressive feature list along with his love of wreck diving and some of the sites he has on his wishlist.

Winston Churchill was no stranger to storms. They had engulfed him in various ways throughout his long career and he had always turned to face them with jutting jaw and indomitable spirit. Dark clouds had hovered over him from the moment he became Britain’s Prime Minister in May 1940. Now, fifteen harrowing months later, he was setting out to meet President Franklin Roosevelt, the one man who could offer real assistance in his hour of need. And another storm awaited—this time one of a meteorological kind as his ship, HMS Prince of Wales, ran into a howling gale within hours of leaving its base at Scapa Flow. After five days, the coast of Newfoundland hove into view and Britain’s Prime Minister was piped aboard USS Augusta at Placentia Bay to meet with FDR. The meeting produced a document, strangely never signed, called The Atlantic Charter—an eight-point agreement designed to act as a guide for how the world’s nations should behave towards each other in the post-war years. Many of the principles laid out in this document are incorporated into the Charter of the United Nations. In their book, Roosevelt's and Churchill's Atlantic Charter: A Risky Meeting at Sea that Saved Democracy (The Naval Institute Press, 2021), Michael Kluger and Richard Evans explain how this document came into being—bits of it being scrawled out on scraps of paper over dinner—and delve into the lives of the two most prominent and influential figures of the twentieth century.

Winston Churchill was no stranger to storms. They had engulfed him in various ways throughout his long career and he had always turned to face them with jutting jaw and indomitable spirit. Dark clouds had hovered over him from the moment he became Britain’s Prime Minister in May 1940. Now, fifteen harrowing months later, he was setting out to meet President Franklin Roosevelt, the one man who could offer real assistance in his hour of need. And another storm awaited—this time one of a meteorological kind as his ship, HMS Prince of Wales, ran into a howling gale within hours of leaving its base at Scapa Flow. After five days, the coast of Newfoundland hove into view and Britain’s Prime Minister was piped aboard USS Augusta at Placentia Bay to meet with FDR. The meeting produced a document, strangely never signed, called The Atlantic Charter—an eight-point agreement designed to act as a guide for how the world’s nations should behave towards each other in the post-war years.

At the end of World War One, the Allies seized the German fleet and held it at Scapa Flow, in Orkney, until the terms of the Treaty of Versailles were announced. At least, that was the plan. The German navy covertly scuttled their own boats under the noses of their captors, rendering the fleet useless, until one firm set out on a massive salvage operation to recover usable material from the boats.

Scapa Flow, a body of water in the Orkney Islands, is best known for the post-war scuttling of the German Fleet in 1919. A lesser-known historical event took place in October 1939 when a German submarine U47 torpedoed HMS Royal Oak in that same water. Travelling to Orkney to research this event for her new novel led to the more intriguing story of the beautiful Italian Chapel on Lamb Holm, built by Italian prisoners of war using scavenged materials. Leigh Chambers produces and presents a radio programme with a mix of music and conversation about books and writing www.cambridge105.co.uk/bookmark. She is writing a novel set on the island of St Kilda in the Outer Hebrides about a religious cult that took hold there in the seventeenth century.

AMBIENT ATOMIC ORBITALS

This is one of those mixes where it starts off with all good intentions, you know, light and airy. But I'll have a break and come back a few hours later to finish it to find that the second half morphs into this real gritty and dark, and i mean proper dark animal of a mix. I make no excuses or apologies for it. Sorry about the gaps of sometimes long periods where we don't upload mixes. It takes a while sometimes to get in the right mind set to put together a mix like these. We have to draw on our dark side and get to a certain place mentaly before we put together a mix with this kind of music. We really need to draw on our muse, sometimes she can be a bitch but most of the times she comes through. We want to put out quality mixes where it feels like you are staring into an abyss of a cold and lifeless horror, not one that feels like having a picnic with birds cheaping with Ed Sheeran playing in the back ground.

Kris takes Matthew Bannister for a walk, starting in the main town of Kirkwall with its huge sandstone cathedral commemorating St Magnus who came to an untimely end. In the graveyard Kris sings “Winter Moon”. Then they head off to the shores of the great natural harbour at Scapa Flow where Kris performs his powerful song about the scuttling of the entire German navy there in 1919. They end up at the chapel created in a nissen hut by Italian prisoners during the Second World War – a poignant setting for Kris’s song “Ghosts”.

If you thought we'd simply fast forward to the infamous scene where the Germans signed on the dotted line, then you haven't been paying attention! Between the 24 and 27 June, there was a great deal going down, even if many of the peacemakers had mentally checked out, knowing that the signing was only a few days away. As the allies blamed the Germans for Scapa Flow, and Clemenceau imagined a new scheme involving the occupation of the city of Essen, the Germans worked to find someone, anyone, who would sign. The German Colonial Minister would request his title be changed, so that he wouldn't be known as the German colonial minister who signed away Germany's colonies, and this individual, Johan Bell, made his way with Herman Mueller, the German Foreign Minister, to Versailles. The ground was being prepared for the scene, but there seemed like an overall feeling of 'meh' had crept in. Was it not a bit of anticlimax, after all they'd worked on together, that the end result was just some unhappy Germans? Perhaps, but that couldn't be allowed to stand in the way of the gravity of the moment. The 28th loomed, and peacemakers pushed relentlessly on...******The Versailles Anniversary Project is possible because of your support and interest - make sure to spread the word, engage with the debate, and look at the different ways you can help this project succeed!->Visit the homeland for this new project!->Become a delegate and play the Delegation Game for just $6 a month!->Support the podcast financially and access ad free episodes with transcripts from just $2 a month! ->Follow WDF on Twitter! ->Join the Facebook group!->Subscribe on iTunes!

Search Intelligent Speech Conference now! Use the code WDF to get 5% off your ticket!On This Day a century ago, the Germans finally accepted the unacceptable. They finally arrived at the point where they determined that enough was enough. Or, to be more accurate, they exhausted their appeals, and realised that the choice between war or shame was not much of a choice at all. They would pick shame, with several caveats. They had tried everything else - their final appeal was one requesting another 48 hours delay, which the allies refused, likely because of the events at Scapa Flow 48 hours before.Now there was truly no going back. They would have to accept the peace treaty, warts and all, the same peace which Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau had so spurned on 7th May. This treaty was virtually unchanged, as was the allied determination to press home their considerable advantages if it proved necessary. No, the new Chancellor and his President said, they could not risk the fate of Germans by a refusal. So it was that the German assembly voted explicitly to outlaw the use of this moment for political gains in the future - a seriously significant moment which was later subsumed under Nazi propaganda. It could not be denied that the German statesmen, from virtually all parties, had assented.The Ayes to the right were legion, and nobody could be quite sure what would happen next. First things first though, they needed to find some Germans wiling to journey to Paris and sign - this proved to be the next trying phase of the peace conference, but back in Paris, the celebrations were beginning early. After so many months of work, it was finally time to revel in the fact that it was over, and soon they would be going home...*****The Versailles Anniversary Project is possible because of your support and interest - make sure to spread the word, engage with the debate, and look at the different ways you can help this project succeed!->Visit the homeland for this new project!->Become a delegate and play the Delegation Game for just $6 a month!->Support the podcast financially and access ad free episodes with transcripts from just $2 a month! ->Follow WDF on Twitter! ->Join the Facebook group!->Subscribe on iTunes!

Search Intelligent Speech Conference now! Use the code WDF to get 5% off your ticket!Our latest episode contains the following theme, expressed by the Germans, to the effect that Germany would not accept the so-called 'war guilt clause'. The 22nd of June was a day of intense anxiety for the Germans and big three alike, because of this theme of defiance, and also, in a sense, delusion. The news of Scapa Flow hardly helped, as any sense of sympathy had been torpedoed, pun intended, and the Germans were faced with another brick wall. One particularly defiant message was sent in the late afternoon of 22nd June by Gustav Bauer, the German Chancellor, who clung to the notion that the most offensive articles could be deleted from the final version of the peace treaty, and it read:Germany further lays the greatest emphasis on the declaration that she cannot accept article 231 of the Treaty of Peace which requires Germany to admit herself to be the sole and only author of the war, and does not cover this article by her signature. It consequently follows without further argument that Germany must also decline to recognise that the burdens should be placed upon her on the score of the responsibility for the war which has unjustly been laid at her door.And that wasn't all - as it became evident that Germany would soon either tumble into an unwinnable war, or face the ultimate shame, statesmen across Europe were already planning for what would happen next. Yet, it was outside of Europe, in the court of the newest world power, that these decisions would prove most biting of all. What would the American President do with that undeniable tide of isolationism threatening to subsume American politics? And what would Europe do if, contrary to his public pronouncements, he was in fact submerged?******The Versailles Anniversary Project is possible because of your support and interest - make sure to spread the word, engage with the debate, and look at the different ways you can help this project succeed!->Visit the homeland for this new project!->Become a delegate and play the Delegation Game for just $6 a month!->Support the podcast financially and access ad free episodes with transcripts from just $2 a month! ->Follow WDF on Twitter! ->Join the Facebook group!->Subscribe on iTunes!

Here it is, the most significant episode yet, which is fitting considering the topic! We have Dreadnoughts, the Royal Navy, German technical ability, and pretty much anything you'd want to cover on the battle of Jutland. This titanic fistfight between to two most dominant navies of the first half f the 20th century is full of wild little facts and fascinating tales. We also dive a little bit into the reasons the battle happened at all and why it might not have needed to taken place at all. If you like your WWI with a side of the sea and a twist of broadsides, give this a listen! Even before the Arch Duke was cut down in Sarajevo, the Royal Navy was planning for war. Churchill had sent the Grand Fleet, the colossal home water force, to its Scottish berths at Rosyth and Scapa Flow. The Royal Navy had the right ships in the right place to hold the German Navy in place. The concern now was did it have the will and the men to defeat them. The century since Nelson commanded the "hearts of oak" had improved the equipment of the Navy and its technical abilities but not it's fighting experience. The great European peace had offered little opportunity for large scale fighting, especially at sea. What little experience was to be gained was mostly done on rivers or in colonial combat. In fact, Admiral Beatty, a critical British commander, cut his teeth in Sudan against the Mahdi. Churchill feared that when the war broke out, "we had more captains of ships than captains of war." Sailing, navigation, exploration, seamanship were the balliwhack of the Royal Navy.

Search Intelligent Speech Conference now! Use the code WDF to get 5% off your ticket!Within this episode we tell the incredible story of Scapa Flow, that infamous event in the twilight of the peace conference, where the German admiral von Reuter determined that he had no choice other than to scuttle his ships. As we will learn here though, the decision which the German admiral took was not a straightforward case of a German doing bold things, and debate rages on to this day over whether or not the act was a result of misunderstanding, or deliberate sabotage.We also provide some background to the situation at Scapa Flow. How long had von Reuter's 74 ships been at this harbour, and why were they interned, rather than simply handed over as a surrender? What did the allies plan to do with his ships, and how did they plan to overcome thier disagreements? Could anyone really afford to add these 74 ships to their naval arsenal, or should they be used instead as a beacon of hope, by handing them to the League of Nations? Maybe they should just be destroyed in a grand ceremony, the symbol of the Anglo-German naval race sinking beneath the waves. As we will learn, the scuttling didn't merely embarrass the British, it also saved any potential antagonism between the British and Americans. Perhaps, in some respects, the act was even a blessing in disguise?*************The Versailles Anniversary Project is possible because of your support and interest - make sure to spread the word, engage with the debate, and look at the different ways you can help this project succeed!->Visit the homeland for this new project!->Become a delegate and play the Delegation Game for just $6 a month!->Support the podcast financially and access ad free episodes with transcripts from just $2 a month! ->Follow WDF on Twitter! ->Join the Facebook group!->Subscribe on iTunes!

Most accounts about the naval battles of the First World War focus upon the stalemate between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet, or the German raiders who attempted to disrupt Allied commerce. In Securing the Narrow Sea: The Dover Patrol 1914-1918 (Seaforth Publishing, 2017; distributed in the US by Naval Institute Press), Steve Dunn focuses on the often overlooked service of the British naval forces stationed in the English Channel during the conflict. The eclectic collection of destroyers, converted yachts, and requisitioned trawlers that comprised the patrol made for a considerable contrast with the dreadnoughts at Scapa Flow, yet, as Dunn demonstrates, they played a vital role in securing the Channel for the safe transport of British troops to France and in opposing the transit of German U-boats to their stations. In describing the admirals who commanded the station over the course of the war, the lives of the men who served aboard the ships, and the various engagements which they fought against their German opponents, he explains the unglamorous yet frequently dangerous contribution the patrol made to Britain’s victory over Germany in 1918, one that was subsequently glossed over in the postwar era.

An Italian Prisoner of War has returned to Orkney to join the 70th anniversary commemorations of a tiny Catholic church he helped to build. The ornate Italian Chapel is one of the most visited tourist attractions on the islands and is known as the miracle of Miracle of Camp 60. About 1,200 Italians, who'd been captured in North Africa, were moved to the previously uninhabited island of Lamb Holm in 1942 to provide labour for the Churchill Barriers. They used left-over concrete from the barriers - naval defences to protect the anchorage at Scapa Flow - and any scrap materials they could find. Gino Caprara, now in his nineties, is one of the few surviving POW's to recall the building of the chapel. Scottish Cabinet Minister Fiona Hyslop was among the dignitaries who attended.

Lord West looks at the Royal Navy's strategy for winning the First World War, and how in the early years of the war it failed to bring its might to bear. The First World War represented a major change in British strategy towards wars on the European continent. Historically Britain had stood off from continental conflicts, funding armies there but otherwise letting the Royal Navy exert its power at sea. But now with British and imperial armies fighting across Europe, the Royal Navy was reduced to transporting troops, escorting convoys and, with the exception of some small victories mopping up German commerce raiders around the world, an inglorious policy of distant blockade. While the Grand Fleet was kept in Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands, the only real attempt to fundamentally alter the balance of power was opposed by many in the Navy, went down in history as a catastrophic failure, and remains to this day one of the war's great 'what ifs'.
