The receipts for the story of the bomb ship off Sheerness.

In August 1944 the SS Richard Montgomery, an American Liberty ship loaded with munitions, ran aground at the mouth of the Thames and broke her back. About half the cargo was removed. The rest is still there: around 1,400 tons of explosive filling, 1.5 miles from Sheerness. In September 2026, salvors cut away the three masts that had stood above the water since the war.
