The Collision of The Andrea Doria
On the evening of July 25,
1956, the Andrea Doria, a huge Italian luxury liner bound for New York City, was
rammed broadside by the Stockholm, a Swedish-American liner headed out to sea.
What followed constitutes one of the most dramatic sea-rescues in modern
maritime history. Ships, battling time and treacherous weather conditions, raced
to the area to pick up passengers and crewmen aboard the Andrea Doria, which
continued to roll onto its side and threatened to capsize at any moment.
Eyewitnesses testimony, along with scores of rare photos, illustrations and
computer animation, recreate the event as if it were happening now. Spectacular
film footage shows the Andrea Doria as she slips beneath the waves. Stunning
underwater footage takes you 255 feet beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.
Maritime historians and authorities discuss how the collision could have
occurred in the first place. All told, this is the most complete telling of the
Andrea Doria's story that you are are
likely to experience.
