Summary: "Scapa and a Camera" by C. W. Burrows is a pictorial account showcasing five years spent at the Grand Fleet Base during World War I, likely written in the early 20th century. This work combines war reminiscences with an extensive collection of photographs, providing a unique perspective on naval life in Scapa Flow and its surroundings. The text is framed by nautical events and the experiences of those stationed at Scapa, highlighting the camaraderie and challenges faced by the naval personnel. At the start of the narrative, Burrows provides context for the formation of the naval base at Scapa Flow, detailing its original neglect and subsequent development into a bustling hub for the Grand Fleet. He reflects on the bleakness of the weather and landscape, while also conveying a sense of nostalgia for the friendships fostered during difficult times. The section sets the tone for the rest of the book, indicating a blend of personal anecdotes and historical significance as the story unfolds against the backdrop of significant wartime events, including the internment and eventual scuttling of the German fleet at Scapa.
