The Water Horse - A Reminder of History Amidst Beauty
Captain Thomas Hamilton:
Perfect.
Wormsley:
Oh, it's an amazing view, sir.
Captain Thomas Hamilton:
HMS Royal Oak was lost to a German U-boat in Scapa Flow, not a hundred miles from this spot, 833 sailors lost. We're not here for the scenery, Wormsley.
Wormsley:
Yes, sir.
Captain Thomas Hamilton:
Now, make no mistake, we are on the front line here. Now, I have studied the German advance. If they invade, they will come right through here. This is the deepest loch in Scotland. It's perfect for their troopships. But they will send submarines first for reconnaissance.
Wormsley:
Won't the steel net stop them, sir?
Captain Thomas Hamilton:
The submarine net will be down to permit passage by routine marine traffic and to let their subs in. And then we will raise the net... and we will destroy them.
