Two submarine wrecks, believed to be uncharted WWI German U-boats, have been discovered by chance off Orkney.
A team working on a Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) tug made the find during a routine sonar survey.
The submarines - reported missing in the area in 1918 - were discovered about 70 miles off Sanday Sound.
