The S.S. Richard Montgomery (aka "the Mighty Monty") is wrecked just 1.5 miles from the town of Sheerness. She is carrying 1,400 tons of explosives. She could blow at anytime, "potentially causing one of the most devastating non-nuclear peace-time explosions ever seen." Officials long ago decided that it is safer not to mess with her than to attempt a salvage.
