From the 2006 survey.

Contemporary records relating to the SS Richard Montgomery indicate that ordnance
was salvaged from the vessel soon after it went aground and that the aft section was
completely cleared.
Previous surveys have provided little direct evidence for in situ cargo thought to be in the
forward section of the wreck. The improved methodology used during the 2006 survey
provided valuable information about the contents of lower Hold 3 and upper Hold 2. This
confirms that salvage of the forward section was only partial at best, as ordnance is
stacked to a height of at least 7.5m in lower Hold 3 and 2.5m in upper Hold 2.
