Masts taken down from WWII bomb ship in Thames

The masts of the sunken WWII cargo ship SS Richard Montgomery in the Thames estuary have been successfully removed to reduce the risk of detonation from its remaining unexploded munitions. The ship, sank in 1944 with about 1,400 tonnes of explosive cargo, was stabilized after concerns that the masts could cause a catastrophic explosion. The removed masts are now displayed at a maritime museum, and the wreck remains under constant monitoring within an exclusion zone.
