Sea Tales - The Sinking of the Andrea Doria (Episode 7)

Episode 7: She was the pride of her line, a ship unparalleled in grace, opulence and elegance, and to postwar Italy she represented the very spirit of the nation. But on her 51st Atlantic crossing, in a pea-soup fog shrouding Nantucket Sound, she was rammed by the Stockholm. Eleven hours later, she slipped beneath the black waters, and the Andrea Doria became the worst maritime disaster since the Titanic.

The Sinking of the Andrea Doria features exclusive, never-before-seen footage of the tragedy taken by a seaman onboard one of the ships called to the liner's aid. Passengers and crewmen recall the horror and confusion of the disaster, and maritime experts examine the details looking for clues to what went wrong. Was Captain Calami who was so dedicated that crewmen had to beg him not to go down with the ship to blame, as many have asserted? Or did the Stockholm crew misread their radar? This is the definitive look at the tragedy that has earned a place as one of the darkest moments in maritime history.
