In 1956, a stunned world watched as the famous Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria sank after being struck by a Swedish vessel off the coast of Nantucket. Unlike the Titanic, this sinking played out in real time across radios and televisions, the first disaster of the modern age. Audiences witnessed it all: the unthinkable collision of two modern vessels equipped with radar; perilous hours of uncertainty; the heroic rescue of passengers, and the final gasp as the pride of the Italian fleet slipped beneath the Atlantic, taking some fifty lives with her. Her loss signaled the end of the golden era of ocean liner travel. Now, Greg King and Penny Wilson offer a fresh look at this glittering liner and her untimely end. Andrea Doria represented the romance of travel, the possibility of new lives in the new world, and the glamour of 1950s art, culture, and life. Set against a glorious backdrop of celebrity and La Dolce Vita, Andrea Doria's last voyage comes vividly to life in a narrative tightly focused on her passengers - Cary Grant's wife; Philadelphia's flamboyant mayor; the heiress to the Marshall Field fortune; and brave Italian emigrants - who found themselves plunged into a desperate struggle to survive. The Last Voyage of the Andrea Doria follows the effect this trauma had on their lives, and brings the story up to date with the latest expeditions to the wreck. Drawing on in-depth research and new interviews with survivors, many of which have never been published before, The Last Voyage of the Andrea Doria offers a fresh look at this legendary liner and her tragic fate, in this vibrant story of fatal errors, shattered lives, and the triumph of the human spirit"-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 Andrea Doria (Steamship) |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79054199 610 27 Andrea Doria (Steamship) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00532725 650 0 Shipwrecks |zNorth Atlantic Ocean. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111634 650 0 Shipwreck victims |vBiography. 650 0 Shipwreck survival |zNorth Atlantic Ocean. 650 7 HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain / 20th Century. |2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY / Maritime History & Piracy. |2bisacsh 650 7 TRANSPORTATION / Ships & Shipbuilding / History. |2bisacsh 650 7 Shipwrecks. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01116638 651 7 North Atlantic Ocean. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01242477 700 1 Wilson, Penny, |d1966- |eauthor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2003034178 902 ram |bl |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200914 904 ram |bo |hm |cb |e20200914 910 |cC0710mon 914 (OCoLC)on1097579039 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240530 |eprocessed |f1097579039 960 |o1 |zUSD 961 |fASP |m311010 |nCloth 980 |i29.99 982 |crcppa 984 20200810 |b122116 |cYBP-US
