The wreck of a First World War destroyer has been revealed for the first time since it sank a century ago.

The HMS Pheasant went down off Orkney after striking a mine laid by a German submarine in January 1917.

Eighty-nine men died but only one body was recovered. All that remained of the warship was a life buoy and some wreckage.

Divers rediscovered the wreck in the 1990s, and now, using modern sonar technology, marine archaeologists have been able to produce the first images of the HMS Pheasant.

The 1000-ton battleship lies on the seabed between Scrabster and Orkney, broken into two pieces.

Experts from the Orkney Research Centre for Archaeology and the University of the Highlands and Islands were also able to confirm the precise location of the wreck for the first time using multibeam sonar.

Earlier this year, the first photographs were revealed of the HMS Vanguard, which sank in the Scapa Flow with 843 men aboard.
