Department for Transport have released an abridged version of the survey report on the Richard Montgomery wreck that we did for them a while ago. You can find it at this address:

MCA - Reciever of Wreck - SS Richard Montgomery

It includes one of our 3D images of the wreck.....



This beast still contains 1.4 megatons of unexploded munitions and is off limits to divers.

Chris,

I've been waiting for a while to see these again, been a long time since DOC.

You refer to 1.4 megatons of unexploded munitions. I take it this is some kind of equivalent, in the same fashion of A or H bombs?

Edit; Report says 1.4 kilotons

Adrian

I remember sailing past the Montgomery on a very early tide out of Queenborough 30 or so years ago. Sun had just risen. All very quiet apart from warning sirens around the wreck. Very eerie.

I wonder how many people even know it exists.

You are right - it never gets mentiond by the lovely Kirstie Allsop on Location, Location, Location when folk are looking in the area

I remember it from a very old Diver article and have been intrigued by it ever since.

Smashing image.

Now if you stuck that back together, laid it on its Port side and put the masts and all the superstructure back on you would have the Henry B Plant
