In August 1944, the American Liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery dragged her anchor and grounded on a Thames Estuary sandbank. The hull cracked and flooded before half her cargo could be salvaged. Today, 1,400 tonnes of unexploded munitions remain trapped underwater within a permanently monitored exclusion zone.
