Original: thames estuary shipwreck masts removed

Work has begun to remove the masts of the SS Richard Montgomery, the wartime liberty ship wrecked off Sheerness in the Thames Estuary while carrying thousands of tonnes of explosives. The government salvage project aims to reduce the risk of an explosion at the protected wreck site, which has long been monitored as a hazard to shipping and nearby communities.

Why now: The long-awaited operation to make the dangerous wreck safe is finally under way.
