Among the most ambitious military strategies in the naval war of WWI was the construction of mine barrages. Most notable is the North Sea Mine Barrage, extending from Norway to the Orkney Islands, intended to bottle up the U-Boat in the North Sea and deny it access to seaways.

We look at the Mark VI mine, and how it made the construction of the North Sea Mine Barrage feasible.
