Last Chance to see SS Richard Montgomery Wreck Before the Masts are Removed May 2022

Last Chance to see SS Richard Montgomery Wreck Before the Masts are Removed May 2022
LINK TO MY WEBSTIE www.hobbyrocks...
Join me on board to see the Wreck of the SS Richard Montgomery munitions ship which floundered off the coast of Sheerness Kent carrying an explosive cargo. The ship ran aground on a sand bank and for years there have been debates about what to do with the volatile wreck and its cargo. Recently a documentary was filmed by ‪@rosskemptv6795‬ which has yet to be aired, we are waiting for this episode! This June the masts are set to be removed due to the fact that they are rotting and cause a real threat to the ship if they fall. The video i have shot, was believe it or not a summers day, but as so often happens the weather turned cold out to sea and it because hard to keep the camera still at some points.

So interesting Tracy. Thank you so much for taking us on your exploration. Such a scary situation. I hope it never erupts in a giant explosion. I would love to visit your beautiful island some day. 💖

Thank you for sharing this, most of us will never have the opportunity to see first hand. So interesting!

[@barbararigglebaker4938]

This was very interesting. But I had to fast forward it because I was getting seasick because of my motion sickness. I did enjoy the bits and pieces I could watch. Hugs and love from my little corner of Kentucky.

If the bombs on this wreck are detonated, the resulting explosion would cause a tsunami down the Thames estuary and surrounding areas that could potentially cause damage up to the tens of pounds!!!!!!

[@bethbullard4310]

That’s amazing Tracy. Thank you for sharing this.

Lovely video , the masts have not gone yet we sailed around them last year , the wreck has reputedly broke into three parts now and Sheerness will one day lose its famous tourist attraction in the shape of the masts as soon as they have worked out how to remove them without disturbing the wreck and where to display them afterwards .

[@rockssteady8793]

I wonder if it actually is the threat they say it is

[@woodzeppelin3241]

Almost 20 years ago, I was touring the Medway with a band from Chicago, and we had a band practice on the Isle of Sherness. I remember going to the beach and seeing what looked like weird scaffolding tilted over in the distance. Later i learned the history of the wreck and have been curious about it since. I hope they find a solution soon. We have a liberty sunk in Lake Michigan and it is rusted fragile as an egg shell. Thank you for posting. I hope to come over and see it again.

[@rockssteady8793]

Next time you come the masts may be cut off and being displayed somewhere

[@NonnasCrochet]

Thank you for this Tracy! I was even getting seasickness lol. I think you should have kept going to the USA so we could meet in person 😊 I would love that! This was a sad but fun trip though ♥️😊😘

[@nancythomas1954]

This was so interesting! Your commentator is really invested in his narration. Thank you Tracy for dealing with the cold and wind! This is something that I would never gee to see. Hope your day is wonderful ;)

[@kimanderson2771]

This was great, Tracy. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I really enjoyed it.

[@Essa695]

I work on this year’s ago we took the Derricks off the Mast when I was on the Salvage vessel Kinloss And with the Navy Divers. Luckily it didn’t go Bang 😂😂 good Times

[@rockssteady8793]

they have still not removed the masts, I think they are worried about the vibration and cutting off just as much as them falling onto the wreck. Glad they did not go bang too lol

[@Essa695]

@@rockssteady8793 May have been better if we had removed the Masts Back then Interesting Job I remember every time we Crashed into it Everyone stopped and Looked at each other thinking Sh.,.,.t Lol but it’s tougher then you Think. But that was a long time ago lol If they need a hand I’m Available
