HC Deb 30 March 1909 vol 3 c173
Mr. RENWICK

asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he had had representatives of the Admiralty in attendance during the operations connected with the breaking up of the wreck of the late H.M.S. "Montagu" at Lundy Island, in order to note the effects of dynamite, which explosive had been largely used in the breaking up of the vessel's hull?

The FIRST LORD Of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)

The reply to the hon. Member's question is in the negative; but it may be mentioned that the salvage company were good enough to bring under the notice of the Admiralty their experience on this occasion.
