There are several errors in this post by my good friend John Nurden, the quantity inside the hull of this wreck is mis quoted time and time again, there is according to the table produced by the MCA, 3,632 US tons of bombs which are still left inside the hull, the figure expressed by the press of 1,400 tons is the NEQ ( net explosive quantity of TNT) calculated to be from 3,632 tons of these bombs.
Only the hull and superstructure have been surveyed over the years, the condition and state of its cargo of bombs is largely unknown.
Removing the masts will be like burying an old friend and will be sadly missed by many.
