WW2 Liberty Ship's masts removed to prevent potential explosion in Thames Estuary
Workers began removing the three masts of the SS Richard Montgomery, a World War Two Liberty Ship wrecked in the Thames Estuary off Sheerness in 1944. The ship holds 1,400 tonnes of unexploded munitions. The masts are being cut away because their weakened bases could collapse onto the explosives and trigger a major blast.
