Wreck of the Richard Montgomery

Wreck of the Richard Montgomery is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.

The Richard Montgomery was a British naval vessel that sank in 1793 near the coast of Ireland. It was lost following a gunpowder explosion while being loaded with military stores for transport to New York during the American Revolutionary War. The wreck is significant as it remains one of the largest caches of undisturbed 18th-century naval ordnance in the world.
