The scuttling of the High Seas Fleet is, in the end, pretty well known. If you've looked at naval history at all. The last act of defiance by Imperial Germany.
The salvage of those ships is, also, a famous operation. From the British government pulling things up, to Ernest Cox and his mission to salvage the ships left over. In today's video, we'll be looking at the most notable of those operations.
SMS Hindenburg. Germany's last battlecruiser, and far and away the most stubborn of the lot. A ship that sank upright. A ship that required *four* different attempts to raise. And several years, for that matter.
This won't be a traditional shipwreck video, but hopefully still an interesting one.
