威廉·布斯报道 英格兰希尔斯:在泰晤士河入海口、伦敦下游不远处,一支顶尖的海事打捞团队正忙着设法稳定世界上最危险的沉船之一。
SHEERNESS, England — In the mouth of the River Thames, just downstream from London, a team of elite marine salvors has been busy trying to stabilize one of the world’s most dangerous shipwrecks.
这艘名为“理查德·蒙哥马利号”的美国军用货船于1944年夏末、诺曼底登陆几个月后抛锚,船身折断后沉入沙洲,船舱内仍装载着1500吨炸药。
The SS Richard Montgomery, a U.S. military cargo ship, dragged anchor, broke her back on a sandbar, flooded and sank in late summer 1944, a few months after D-Day, with 1,500 tons of explosives still in the holds. 0Comments
