FOMA Event

'The Wreck' SS Richard Montgomery: A series of films by Colin Harvey

Friday 11 November, doors at 7pm for 7.30pm start


In 1943, during World War II, the American and Liberty cargo vessel SS Richard Montgomery ran aground and sank. With more than 1,400 tons of bombs and munitions on board, the wreck now lies around 200 yards off the northern coast of the Isle of Sheppey. Over 45 minutes, a series of three films will tell the story of the SS Richard Montgomery and the Liberty ships.

This FOMA event will take place at St Nicholas Church Lower Hall, Strood, Rochester, Kent, ME2 4TR. The car park entrance is on Gun Lane, ME2 4UG, almost opposite the Health Centre.

£3 for FOMA members
