.Danger.at.Sea. I became interested about the sea and the ships which sail it after visiting the Isle of Sheppys’ north coastline. Whilst there I was told a story, by a local women, about a Dangerous vessel which had sunk with ammunitions, within its hold which could explode at anytime. After returning home I researched this story in depth and found out that the vessel was called US SS Richard Montgomery. The locals who live in Sheppy see this wreck as a monument for tourists and don’t tend to worry about the danger they face in the hold explodes as they could be effected by a tsunami.
