Site Description The Montana burned when it sank which destroyed most of the cabins and sides of the ship. The drive machinery is all extant on site including the boiler, engine, propeller and rudder but the rudder lies on the bottom behind the propeller and is only partially shown in the model. The anchors and windlass are also extant on site. The unique feature of the wreck site is the double steeple compound engine which is like two steeple compound engines ganged on one shaft.
