The Sinking of the Andrea Doria
ฝัง

- SS Andrea Doria (pronounced [anˈdrɛːa ˈdɔːrja]) was a luxury transatlantic ocean liner of the Italian Line (Società di navigazione Italia), put into service in 1953. She is widely known from the extensive media coverage of her sinking in 1956, which included the remarkably successful rescue of 1,660 of her 1,706 passengers and crew.
Named after the 16th-century Genoese admiral Andrea Doria, the ship had a gross register tonnage of 29,100 and a capacity of about 1200 passengers and 500 crew. Of all Italy's ships at the time, Andrea Doria was the largest, fastest and supposedly safest. Launched on 16 June 1951, she was home-ported in Genoa, and began her maiden voyage on 14 January 1953.
On 25 July 1956, the New York City-bound vessel was approaching the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States, when the eastbound passenger liner Stockholm of the Swedish American Line collided with her. Struck in her starboard side, the top-heavy Andrea Doria immediately started to list severely that way as she took on water, which left half of her lifeboats unusable. The consequent shortage of lifeboats could have resulted in significant loss of life, but the ship stayed afloat for over 11 hours after the collision. The calm, appropriate behavior of the crew, together with improvements in communications, and the rapid response of other ships, averted a disaster similar in scale to that of Titanic in 1912. While 1,660 passengers and crew were rescued and survived, 46 people on the ship died as a direct consequence of the collision. The evacuated luxury liner capsized and sank the following morning. This accident remains the worst maritime disaster to occur in United States waters since the capsizing of the Eastland in Chicago in 1915.
While the rescue efforts for both ships were successful, the cause of the collision, culpability, and the loss of Andrea Doria generated much continued interest in the media and many lawsuits. Largely because of an out-of-court settlement agreement between the two shipping companies during hearings immediately after the disaster, no determination of cause was ever formally published.

Fun fact, the ship that collided with the Andrea Doria still exists - It's called the MV Astoria!
Wow that’s really cool!
How did he had 2 names
@@WONGWAIHANGHAINES2A23-mx7sh its very common when a ship changes owners, for the new owners to give it a new name
@MattJohno2 yes, you are indeed correct; she is the ship that proudly sailed for many years under the Swedish colors. Even though she has been refitted/renamed/redesigned flew under many countries flags; she indeed will always be proud of being built in Gothenburg Sweden. What a beauty !! prior to being redesigned/refitted. Sweden stay proud of your beauty !!
It’s absolutely amazing that even with the massive amount of damage from the collision, she stayed afloat for almost 11 hours.
The successful evacuation unintentionally set a Guinness World Record.
Your animation is beautifully done! The depiction of the collision is very accurate to how it actually occurred. The Andrea Doria was one of the most beautiful ocean liners ever built; the exterior was perfectly balanced and looked great from every angle. The interiors of the vessel were absolutely breathtaking in design. Such a horribly tragic loss and only 3 1/2 years old at the time of the sinking in 1956. The loss of life could have been much worse had it not been for the amazing rescue efforts put forth by the French Line's Ile de France's crew as well as the crew of the Stockholm which was badly damaged but remained seaworthy. I have always felt that this would make an excellent subject for a movie.
It really would be a great movie subject!
@@lorigarza9971. Sorry, but I do not want to see any new Hollywood cheap junk. Era of Hollywood dominance ended around of 1990'.
@johnfalstaff2270 If they ever did such a movie, I would recommend you don't watch it then.
@@lorigarza9971. Thank you, I will not.
Fun fact: the captain of the Andrea Doria, Pietro Calamai, categorically refused to get off the ship even when everyone was already evacuated.
He left only because the other sailors threatened to stay on board with him, was he to remain.
I think a certain other captain of an ill-fated Italian passenger ship could learn a thing or two from him.
@@nathanielpatterson-rc9dq to be absolutely fair, he was a scapegoat, even if he did do incredibly wrong things. But yeah.
I like a captain who knows how to captain. And kudos to the men who refused to leave without him.
@@p_filippouzHe disembarked far earlier than a majority of the passengers aboard. I think it fair to actually deem him more of a coward than a scapegoat.
@@justogarcia175 and that is true
But it's also true that the manoeuvre he was trying to make was standard procedure of Costa. The helm officer also turned the wrong direction schettino instructed him.
I'm not saying Schettino isn't wrong. But a lot of other people got off with a slap on the wrist because they all decided to put blame on him.
Hell, the judge even said he would shorten the sailors' jail time if they were to provide info about Schettino!
I maintain that the _Andrea Doria_ was, at least on the exterior, the most beautifully-proportioned liner ever to set sail.
She was beautiful on the inside as well. One of the last great ocean liners before the jet age finally made them disappear.
And the Christoforo Columbo her sistership (scrapped 1982) in white livery.
Jjames763 indeed; understandably; she did have problems even on her sea trials; weather; seas. Its unfortunate that they did bit realize; there was a flaw in design (s). Really to this day it's amazing that she stayed afloat till morning; even with that severe list. It seems even with the watertight doors closed prior to collision; sea water was still able to overflow the bulkheads; creating a severe list. Just a footnote; pride of Italy post war.
It's amazing that this ship managed to stay afloat until morning for most of its passengers to get off.
The Commander and the crew perfectly made their dutyto the end, but their career was doomed ...really bitter.
If you look at pictures of the Andrea Doria’s port side, those pumps were doing their best to keep the ship afloat as long as possible.
@@marcobertuccelli5679. It would not be possible today.
Plus all the safety features they had onboard they also if I remember correctly load more water on the ballast tanks to try to keep the ship on a even keel so they can launch lifeboats. And some passengers had the book a night to remember, kinda ironic they are reading about the sinking of the Titanic but no one could have known what was about to take place. It’s fortunate that multiple ships where there to help
11 hours
Fun Fact: After being repaired, the Stockholm remained in active service as a transatlantic ocean liner until the ship was decommissioned just a few years ago in 2020 (only due to the effects of COVID-19 on the industry). Currently known as the "MV Astoria", the ship went through 10 different name changes since the Andrea Doria disaster - as well as 11 separate owners.
The Astoria still exists today - its currently laid up in Rotterdam waiting for a new owner, or scrapping.
Where is Rotterdam?
@@Thel2552 The Netherlands
Museum potentially?
It’s in wallhaven Rotterdam. I actually found the Astoria on google maps.
@@_R-R hopefully so; she is so iconic; to have a career expanding over 70 years. Even with her being refitted, refurbished, sailing under many flags of many countries; she will still be the pride of Sweden.
My dad, grandparents, and 2 uncles were Andrea Doria survivors. My dad was 16 years old when it happened. Growing up hearing the stories of what they experienced was amazing. My dad past away in December 2023, he was 83
Thank You for telling us, thank god they survived, im sorry for Your loss!
Great model of Andrea Doria. Job well done to the animators.
2:18. Ile de France arrives in the background.
What’s more amazing. Is the young woman who was in bed in the Andrea Dora. Got pull out of her cabin. And ended up stuck in the mangled mess on the Stockholm. And survived.
Crew members of the Stockholm heard cries for help several days after the collision.
linda morgan!
At age 10 in 1956, I remember seeing the newscast about the incident & the next day's newspaper showing
the last two people to leave the sinking ship, a passenger & a steward, who unsuccessfully, tried to save the
life of the passenger's wife!?/ Years later, my barber told me that, as a 7 year old, in 1954, he came from Italy.
on that ship as an orphan, to be adopted by an American family! He said that the "Andrea Doria" was magnificent!
Lol thats a plotpoint from a Clive Cussler novel :D
@@Rudeljaegerayyyy. Serpent. Good book
The sea depth is only about 300 feet where she lies. Her bow was already on the bottom before the stern went under. That's why there was no forward movement or stern raising up in the air. She just simply settled down where she was
Yup, i also have underwater animation, go and check it out
Just like the Lusitania. Her bow had already hit the bottom before the stern settled back and went down
@@joemcdonald7798 actually it was more like the HMHS Britannic
My Mother’s cousin was on board the Andrea Doria. He was on his way back from Rome after completing his doctorate. He had lots of stories about the incident.
I had co-worker, ex navy frogman that dived down on her in the late 70's. He said she was a mess, fishing nets were tangled on her from stem to stern. The dive team he was a part of only explored a portion of her outer hull because she had picked clean of valuables by that time.
All of his bridge officer stepped forward at once, the senior officer said ", Capitano, if you we remain, we shall remain with you"
I saw a documentary on the Andrea Doria that found the collision had caused the hull to crack all way over to the Port side of the ship further causing flooding to additional compartments.
Yes the collision broke the keel, she was doomed no matter what.
@@rhettburger6705. Right, however not to the port side. She would not be able to stay afloat almost 11 hours.
@@rhettburger6705 realizing the doria had not reduced her speed, only slightly traveling through the fog bank. Also the Stockholm did have a reinforced bow; surely the damage was severe to the doria; slicing in many ways. The question for many years; even on her sea trials she was prone to listing many degrees, not factored in her design. Even though they still maintained the same design on her sister ships. Was there any modifications made or not to prevent severe listing; not able to right herself in unaccustomed weather. She was indeed the pride of Italy after the war; unfortunately not a long career.
wow, @CaljuCtocas, you are working very hard! the hole on the ship and the new lightning are so realistic, good job!
Kramer knew the history of this ship. Thank you.
Nice animation. It’s a wonder a movie was never made about the ship
Fantastic I love the weather and lighting effects makes the ship really come to life.👍👍👍
Wow you actually started to make it where the ships actually show physical damage when on collision!
I love how you made it rip through the ship it look very good
Thanks for the video. Very sad story.
the best animation i saw , congratulations
Imagine sinking the Andrea Doria, being fine, getting repaired and still remaining in service for 74 years.
This winter, I finally went on an Oasis cruise ship and fufilled my wish to do so! Specifically, it was Harmony of the Seas. The entertainment and shows were amazing, the food was good, and there was no noise in the night like others claimed! I don't get why people like to hate on these amazing ships, probably because they are just too good for them!
Average ocean liner fan vs Average Oasis-Class enjoyer
This summer, I’m going on an Oasis class luxury cruise ship called the Symphony of the seas
The entertainment would be formal and fun, the food would be good and we also get off the ship at popular destinations
PS: Our cabin is the family suite
@@user-rl8uh7xy7k We will be on the Star of the Seas for new years eve!
PS: we will be staying in the Royal Loft Suite
Netflix needs to hire this man
I heard that one of the survivors named Clarence Eldridge, when telling his horrific story to his landlord, kept George Costanza from getting the big luxury apartment in the upper east side of Manhattan.
The ship looks amazing 🤩
Amazing work.
And gees, it's like the Empress of Ireland and the Storstad reincarnated as the Andrea Doria and the Stockholm.
(Except Andrea Doria sank slower and had less causalities. But the accident itself...)
Is it just my perception or do a lot of these collided-with-something accidents happen on the starboard side? Andrea Doria, Titanic, Carpathia, Empress of Ireland, Lusitania... Given that ships only have two sides and a back and a front, there's only so many places to take damage, but it seems like it happens on the starboard more that port.
(Probably just me. As you were.)
Technically, you're right. But the Empress of Ireland's tragedy was only the second one. The SS La Bourgogne also was rammed by another ship, the Cromartyshire, during a foggy day. Only one survivor while the rest perished.
@@denixonjosebarajasprimera9350 Holy cow, I hadn't heard of that one. Conflicted; on the one hand, some new history to learn about. On the other, one survivor is just...yikes.
@@MsDemonBunny That's because the SS La Bourgogne sinking not only was the Anti-Titanic (even children died in that sinking) because they didn't do the "women n' children first" thing, it's also the deep smudge in the shirt of the french, because that ship belonged to the french people.
Additionally, La Bourgogne's wreckage is the neighbor of Titanic's wreckage, but it's unknown where it is located because it isn't as popular as the Titanic. Put "SS La Bourgogne" in the Google search, and you'll see what I'm talking about.
@@denixonjosebarajasprimera9350A forgotten ship disaster that occurred in January 1909 was the collision in heavy fog that sank the White Star Liner RMS Republic. The ship that struck it was the SS Florida which managed to stay afloat and was later repaired. 1500 Lives saved between the two ships and a total of two passengers and four crewmen ended up being the only fatalities, all from the collision and not the sinking. The Republic was the largest passenger liner ever lost at sea up to that time. It also was the first passenger liner ever to send a distress call by wireless using the CQD code, three years before Titanic would be the first to send an SOS by wireless. The sinking of the Republic occurred just six miles from where the Andrea Doria went down. The Republic had a passenger by the name of Leonard McMurray who would later also survive the sinking of the Lusitania. A salvage operation is taking place later this year on the Republic to attempt recovery of gold lost on board the ship that is estimated to be worth close to 10 billion dollars! Very fascinating story that many people are unaware of.

This is so realistic
this ship is italian!! Genova's italian line. one of the first italian ocean liner!!!
Poor little stockholm got its nose ripped off
Fun fact but the Stockholm is still around. It remained in active service until 2020 and then was laid up in Rotterdam to possibly be turned into a Hotel.
@Novusod that's good. Nothing wrong with preservation of our maritime history
Hi, I was living with my family on Long Island the day this happened. People on BOTH bridges of both ships were NOT paying to their duties.
The only fault that can be leveled at Captain Calamai of Andrea Doria is that his speed through foggy conditions was too great. But the Stockholm Captain ignored maritime protocols of sailing 20 nautical miles farther north on its eastward track-that ultimately was the fatal error.
Awesome.
Really great animation and the 3d model is very accurate. So many other models always get the funnel wrong. Great job!
Nice New Animation Ship
Hi! I was planning to do an Andrea doria video, but if it was okay if i use a little bit of clips from your Andrea doria video? I will also put video credits.
It was sad what happened to that ship. I'm just glad the majority of souls aboard were safe.😮
No sound signals? COLREGs Rule 35: In or near an area of restricted visibility, whether by day or night, the signals prescribed in this Rule shall be used as follows:
(a) A power-driven vessel making way through the water shall sound at intervals of not more than 2 minutes one prolonged blast.
I remember this very well hour by hour. Photos from 'copters.
1,663 out of just over 1,700 passengers and crew were resuced
The Ms Stockholm is still around today. It is still laid up in waalhaven Rotterdam
That's is correct @jamessholton2630 she is named MS Astoria; she will always be the pride of SAL and Sweden. Hopefully even though she has a career of many many years, many registeries, refitted, refurbished, she perhaps will be known as MS Stockholm. The question is will she still be continuing on, understood that she is docked in the Netherlands, either awaiting new ownership; or her demise to be scrapped. That would be a terrible shame if that happens. Perhaps saving her, museum, or a floating hotel ie: Queen Mary @ long beach California, USA.
I’ve read that the wreck is always making noise due to the constant wearing down of it
George Costanza nearly lost an apartment to an Andrea Doria survivor. Only to then later lose it to a man that Elaine attacked with a fork.
Captain Calamai was vindicated by a (US) Naval Academy, Annapolis reconstruction of events just weeks before his death. He was sent a warm letter from the head of the board, John C. Caruthers who was a renowned expert in maritime collisions, but died before receiving it.
Incredible animation, it feels real!
this is what i have been waiting for!!!
Never ever board a ship billed as "the safest" or "unsinkable". NEVER!
Superb and well done!. What a waste of a very beautiful ship.
Looks very real
It went down like an old man getting into a bathtub.
🤣
Brilliant animation.
I still don’t understand how these ships collided when they both had radar.
The third officer on watch (Carstens) on the Stockholm was not well versed on radar, learning on the job with this voyage, as incredulous as that seems. Plus, in all likelihood the radar was erroneously set to an correct radius setting of 15 miles instead of 5.
Look how much damage MS Stockholm had.
Yes her bow crumpled in about 50 feet
@@tinypoolmodelshipyard indeed; gratefully her bulkheads held. Guess you could say the Swedes were indeed ahead of there craft to design a beautiful ship that still is afloat; not scrapped. Hopefully she will maintain; hopefully a museum; or hotel. Sweden, be so very proud !!!!
All because someone wasn't looking where they were going.....
Now do the SS George Costanza
Looks so good man, good job!
Thanks man!
Great!!! How ever, hadnt they seen each other and started blasting their whistles before the collision? That could be cool
Great reenactment!
Impresionante 😧
LERRRRRROOY JENKIIIIIIIIINS
Who saw the easter eggs (the other ships) in the video?
OMG...why did they let all those lifeboats go away completely empty???
Stockholm: I'm a monster! What have I done?
andrea doria sinking ship video♊
I remember when this happened. I mean the Doria was essentially "T" boned how in the hell could that have happened? I guess radar wasn't working on EITHER boat.
They were, but the third officer on watch, Carstens on Stockholm was multitasking that evening and radar was not his strong point-in fact he was self teaching on that voyage. Plus, he erroneously set the radar sensitivity to 15 nautical miles instead of 5.
What happened to Stockholm?
Somewhere in the comments this was mentioned. It was only decommissioned a few years ago. Amazing.
She is currently (as of May 2024) moored in the Rotterdam harbour. Her new name is Astoria.
Good animation, but has a mistake, if the ship lost part of his structure, he will sank in minutes, not hours
History tells us two known facts. Stockholm rammed Andrea Doria a full forty feet into its superstructure and that the latter took 10.5 hours to sink.
You should do another ____ sinks just like _____ video
Idea:
Titanic sinks just like MS estonia
Ah yes, Titanic capsizing.
@@bonemarrow43 yep
yes titanic end estoina
4:02 you should have made the port side lifeboats snap free from their davits and float away upside down.
Holy!Was the hole really that big?
The Stockholm, though not an ice breaker, had a reinforced bow to deal with the north sea. She was very strong.
@@ExAnimoPortugal Oh ok,thx
Yep, you can see it in some of the photos of the sinking
@@ExAnimoPortugal the Stockholm had a reinforced bow; she mainly traveled in the north sea; through the fyords; of her home country of Sweden and surrounding countries. Even though she did do the transatlantic route to the states for a time.
Sigma Alpha Stockholm and it’s amazing how it stayed afloat even though the bow was gone 2:48
Why this ship collide to another ship?
This issue was $.20 bulb for the Stockholm's radar that should have been replaced.
Good video.
No horns to alert each other before the collission?
u made this?
How did the Stockholm lost a chunk????
2:45 the Stockholm is still floating even though it’s bow is shattered
History records that it made it all the way back to port in this condition.
@@michaelschramm1064 yes she indeed did just that; her bulkheads held; she did have list of 1 or 2° but was corrected. She may have lost 30+ or more of her bow. She was repaired at Bethlehem steel.
4:02 I thought the port side lifeboats were going to snap free and float away upside down.
Indeed!
it colluded with the ??? ship i forget or something
whatta ship is that why is it ignoring the andrea
This summer, I’m going on an oasis class luxury cruise ship called the Symphony of the seas
The entertainment would be formal and fun, the food would be good and we would also play in Cococay
I like ocean liners and cruise ships
This is a remake of my reply to another viewer
PS: My luxurious cabin is the Ultimate family suite
Underrated
Well made, - not bad at all !
I read that salvage diving on the AD is extremely dangerous due to its depth.
200 feet and its in a high used shipping lane
The shallow depth of 240 feet equates to rapid disintegration owing to warmer and more active water currents.
After all this years gone by; she has collapsed on oneself, there is not very much left of this beauty; pride of Italy !!
could you make Moby Prince disaster ?
Ah, kramers has book about this.
where are the bubbles?
there are always bubbles
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
The saddest part is the 3 ladies left in their rooms when the crew said to one of their husbands they would rescue them only to rescue a kid trapped between a fallen bunks they forgot about the three women trapped in the room and they drowned there

Please a make video titanic pass queen mary
Das Schiff heißt nicht Andrea Doria...Sondern Andreas Doria
Named for Admiral Andrea Doria.
Cool
Terrifying to think that had this sank in the time it took Titanic death toll would have been a lot higher instead of just 46.
