The Collision between MS Stockholm and Andrea Doria
Page 1
The Disaster The tragic collision between the Stockholm and the Italian liner Andrea Doria occured on July 25, 1956, at 2300 hrs, east of Nantucket, about 200 miles from New York. The Andrea Doria and, with her, 46 of her passengers, went to the bottom of the sea 10 hours after the collision. Five crew members were killed on the Stockholm. On November 5, the Stockholm was ready for operations after having been repaired at Bethlehem Steel, and was back in service on December 8, 1956.Curt Dawe served as Chief Purser on the Stockholm at the time of the collision. Many books and newspaper articles have been written about the collision. Here, we choose to let the documents tell their own story. Read more about MS Stockholm here. |
