The Richard Montgomery is a WW2 ship wreck. Still holding a few thousand tons of High Explosives.
Over 80 years and not gone off yet.

Tom, American ship, American explosives. It would not hurt you. You are family.

There is a ring of buoys around the wreck to keep boats away from it.
We went close to the ring to have a look at the wreck.
Within minutes a Harbour Master boat came racing out to us to see what we were up to.
They realised we were just sightseeing and left right away.
