Description
When Germany requested an Armistice in early November 1918, bringing an effective end to the First World War, the Allied powers demanded internment of the German High Seas Fleet as a condition for the cease-fire. Seventy-four of Germany’s most modern warships would steam to a neutral port to await the outcome of peace negotiations; if no neutral port was available, then they would go to an Allied port. The Allies immediately failed to find such a port and directed the fleet to the British naval base at Scapa Flow north of Scotland. By late November, the fleet was an anchor in Scapa Flow.
