A view from the port side of after bridge looking forward towards the fore bridge and foremast of the battleship HMS Montagu (1901) aground off Shutter Point, Lundy. The boat deck and parts of the upper deck have been removed during the salvage work undertaken between June and October 1906. The cliffs off Shutter Point are in the background where the suspended walkway can be seen leading from the ship to the cliff. Part of the main mast rigging can be seen on the left of the image.

On 30 May 1906, the battleship was on its way back to an anchorage off Lundy having conducted wireless telegraphy experiments when it struck Shutter Point in increasingly dense fog. The ship was stuck fast and a salvage operation was conducted over two months to remove the guns and other equipment. The 12-inch guns were removed from the battleship between 8 September, with the forward guns, and the last of the after guns removed on 30 September and towed to Pembroke dockyard on 1 October 1906 [Whispers from the Fleet by C. Craddock, 1908].
