There's a liberty ship that sank off the coast of Sheerness, can see it at low tide.



Navy divers won't go near, its to unstable, some say sooner or later it will go bang, probably taking most of Sheerness and the Isle of Sheppy with it, some say it won't, who knows.

On board,

13,064 general purpose 250lb bombs
9,022 cases of fragmenting bombs
7,739 semi-armour piercing bombs
1,522 cases of fuses
1,429 cases of phosphorous bombs
1,427 cases of 100lb demolition bombs
817 cases of small arms ammunition

Arguably, if you've ever been to the isle of Sheppy (the isle of 6 toes) this can be viewed with a positive spin.
