This is a dive on the SMS Kronprinz Wilhelm spotting tops. As the ship sank, she flipped over and attempts were made by the british authorities on the Orkney islands to tow the wreck to shore for salvage before she sank. as she was towed, the spotting tops (the tops of the towers and the towers themselves) broke away from the hull as they dragged on the bottom of the sea bed. Before sonar and radar the only way to see your foe was to sit on the top of a tall mast! shot on a Sony PC105 camcorder in a Gates Housing with Niterider HID lights in Scapa Flow in 2004. www.doryproductions.co.uk
