Councillor Stephen Aylen raised concerns about the SS Richard Montgomery wreck possibly carrying mustard gas, citing another ship that released this gas after sinking in 1943.
The presence of mustard gas was kept secret by the Allies during World War II, raising the question of whether similar secrecy surrounds the cargo aboard the Richard Montgomery.
Aylen suggests that, given the desperate state of the Nazis post-D-Day, it is plausible the SS Richard Montgomery contained deadly mustard gas, intensifying fears of environmental threats.
The wreck lies close to Sheerness and poses a potential threat of chemical warfare material, as its exact contents remain undisclosed, creating public concern over safety.
