One of my favorite ships! I first learned about her through her fictional sister, the SS Antonia Graza from the 2002 movie Ghost Ship. When I was 10, I used to think the Antonia Graza was real, and dreamed of finding her and restoring her to make her my personal family ocean liner. When I found out about the Andrea Doria, I felt very sad that she can't be raised and restored.😪 I won't be missing this premiere.

@@sammynurgitz1304 The creators of the movie Ghost Ship created the Antonia Graza to be very similar to the Andrea Doria. They specifically said that the Antonia Graza is based off of the Andrea Doria. That's why some people call the Graza a "fictional sister ship" to the Doria.

I’m surprised that the Stockholm was able to stay afloat after the collision

[@natehill8069]

Stockholm was an icebreaker - reinforced bow and keel. So her strongest part hit the Doria's "softest" spot. Actually, since the weather was calm, if they had kept her at bare steerageway ahead she could have kept the hole plugged and maybe they could have saved the Doria also. Like not pulling a nail out of a tire til you get to a service location.

[@emerybonner7973]

It was the same thing with the sinking of the Empress of Ireland in 1914. She was travelling through heavy fog when the Storstad, which had a reinforced bow like the Stockholm, hit and sliced a massive hole through the side of the Empress. The Empress of Ireland went down a lot faster than the Andrea Doria. The Empress went down in fourteen minutes and 1,012 of the 1,477 people onboard died. Storstad remained afloat but with a twisted bow and there were no fatalities on her Oh. And the captain of the Storstad did try to keep the bow of the Storstad in the hole but the current of the St. Lawrence river made it difficult to keep the ships together.

EYOO WHAT THE FRICK STOCKHOLM DID HAS BIG PILLERS😂😂😂

[@frankrizzo1433]

I grew up on the Westside of Manhattan, many of my uncles and friends Dads were Longshoremen. I was very familiar with the shipping lines and their ocean liners. My Dad would take my brother and my sister and myself and walk along the piers on the Westside. As children were impressed with the size of all the great passenger liners at their piers. My Uncle Pat worked for the Swedish Line as a Longshoremen. When the Stockholm returned to New York with survivors from the Andria Dora, my Dad took my brother and I to watch the Doria dock. I can still see the image of the crushed bow of the Stockholm, as the ship approauched the pier. All the passengers on deck rushed to the pier side of the Stockholm, as a result of people rushing to one side of the ship. The Stockholm listed towards the pier, there was a HUGE GASP from the crowd on the street and pier. People thought they were going to witness another tragic event with the capsizing of the Stockholm at its birth. Fortunately the Stockholm was able to handle the rush of people on the deck. I was 6 years old when that happened and I can still see the Stockholm in my mind from that day. Just an FYI.

Your ship model are, in general, very good. The collision happened at 11:20pm at night. Stockholm was entering fog, Andrea Doria was in the thick of it.. Ile De France arrived in the morning, while it was still dark. Doria's right side lifeboats were all launched, port side were trapped in place. The doomed liner had a massive hole under the starboard bridge wing and immediately assumed an 18 degree list which increased in fits and starts. When she finally went over, her bow descended to the sea bed first, and hit the ocean floor before her stern was evacuated of air. I've written a book about the collision and wreckage, so I know from whence I write. Your graphics are good, but the sequences are not in correct order or incomplete. I applaud your skill in attempting to develop this. Stockholm eventually received a new hull design and was just retired this year.

My mother’s friend was afraid to fly, and regularly sailed over to Italy to visit family. She had sailed to Italy in the summer of 1956 on the Andrea Doria. It was on its return trip to New York that she collided with the Stockholm and sank. After that, my mother’s friend said she’d risk flying.

[@jumperguy9867]

By the time of the sinking, all of the starboard lifeboats were already gone. This video shows them intact. I know it's just a small detail, but it's a fact. Also, as it sank, the Andrea Doria was slightly stern up. In fact, the last part of the ship that was visible was the port-side screw. The ship did not ease beneath the water in a uniform manner. It was slightly bow down at the end. But good video.

The video is a good effort but I don't think it captures the emotion behind this sinking. It may be the limitations of the simulator but read this account of a sailor aboard a rescue ship. "At least an hour after our arrival on the scene, I saw a dim form of a large ship emerging from the darkness and moving quite rapidly in our direction. There were no lights visible other than the required red and white running lights. The red lights being visible indicated that this ship was going between the "Andrea Doria" and the "Thomas." When it got into position,we could feel the vibrations as the huge ship backed down full astern and came to a stop. For a few seconds, this ship remained almost totally dark. Then, all in unison, every light on this ship must have been turned on including a huge sign in lights that read "Ile de France". At the exact same time, every lifeboat began to be lowered and touched the water at precisely the same moment. The fleet of lifeboats then began moving en masse toward the "Andrea Doria." The arrival of the "Ile de France" was like grand theatrical production. The star of the "Andrea Doria" tragedy, she announced her arrival on the scene in a grand way. It was like she was saying, "I am here and all is under control." The majority of the crew and passengers aboard the "Andrea Doria" were rescued by the "Ile de France."---Memories of the event by Ernest R. Melby, EM1 USN, crew member of the USNS "Private William H.
