What is recorded here
Wreck of SS 'Richard Montgomery' is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
SS *Richard Montgomery* was a British steamship that sank in 1944 off the coast of Kent, England, after striking a mine. The vessel remained submerged with its cargo of unexploded ordnance, posing a long-term hazard; no lives were lost, and the wreck remains a notable example of wartime maritime risk.
