Does the wreck of HMS Monarch still exist, or was it scrapped?
Short answerIt probably remains in Hurd's Deep because there is no apparent record of recovery, although the conclusion is not definitive.
NotesNo record appears to show that the wreck was recovered or moved after its explosive sinking. The best assessment is therefore that Monarch remains in Hurd's Deep, although this is an archival inference rather than a surveyed certainty. The ship was expended with a large quantity of explosives, making an intact wreck unlikely even if the remains are still on the seabed. Archival absence cannot provide the direct confirmation that a seabed survey would.
