SS Andrea Doria - Grand Dame Of The Sea

Imagine being on a luxury ocean liner, just hours from port when all of a sudden you find yourself on a sinking ship. It was unfortunate that those in charge of the Stockholm were not aware that The Andrea Doria was in its path.

After doing some research on The Andrea Doria, it seemed unbelievable that an incident like this occurred, and that so many lives were saved. The ship sank 240 feet into the shark infested waters less than ten hours of being hit by The Stockholm.

Hello and welcome to The History Of Andrea Doria, your source for links and information pertaining to one of the twentieth century's great luxury liners.

Today, the Andrea Doria lies on her starboard side in 240 feet of water. Her hull is now known to a small group of professional divers as the Mt. Everest of diving. Those who dare to explore this wreck must endure nitrogen narcosis, staged decompression hangs, strong currents, sharks, and long surface intervals. Gary Gentile, author of the book ANDREA DORIA, DIVE TO AN ERA, has made many such expeditions. On one of his ventures, he and his companions recovered the Doria's stern bell. Most divers who visit this wreck are more than happy to recover some of the fine china she once carried.
