HC Deb 17 March 1879 vol 244 c1033
MR. D. JENKINS

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty, If any, and what, steps are about to be taken to remove the wreck of Her Majesty's ship "Vanguard?"

MR. W. H. SMITH

It is intended to remove the masts of the Vanguard as soon as the weather is sufficiently fine to enable us to do so; but there is no intention at present to remove or destroy the wreck of the ship, being advised that the wreck will not be dangerous to the navigation.
