im doing a school project on this, i think it really is fascinating to think at any time it could just blow up the hole island and it’s so historical that it is still after all this time!

As a child i use to go to sheerness in the summer to visit my gran she use to live at 51 clyde street sheerness as a boy i use to walk to the sea front and watch the ships go by the old wreck as we called it was the thing that even as a small boy got your sight my dad use to take me on the boat that use to do trips round the wreck,, earler this year i went back after close to 40 years to look around sheerness to see what i could remember and was glad to see the wreck was still there,,,, there is now not as much above the water as when i was a boy and it has a lot of markers around it ,, some things change like a large tesco but others like the wreck are much the same,,…
regards

Having spent many years doing commodores cruises around the SS Montgomery it would be a shame for it to be removed, touched or disarmed.. Some of its beauty and intrigue is it’s danger. i have been lucky enough to have been able to be closer than most to this ship and would emplore anybody that goes close to leave it well alone.. you will ruin something that does not need to be touched..

My childhood annual holidays were spent at Sheerness (1950’s) where my nan lived at 1 Unity Street. We always took a trip round the old Wreck and heard many scary stories, like it could easily explode. This article made very interesting reading.

How could people think that it should be destroyed..this is the islands only historic fetaure that no one has touched or messed around with yet..it ios facinating to know that years ago..there was people on this ship and it was floating across our waters.. If i was able to go and see this ship i would 100% because i think the site of it is absaloutley beautiful. im on 14 and i think more about this thn anything else.. people think what yhur doing before yhu go n do them..this is our history no one elses … this is what makes sheerness, sheerness .. dont destroy that … thankyou for listening x
