The Wreck of the ANDREA DORIA: Who Was Really to Blame?

On July 25, 1956, the Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm off Nantucket in dense fog. Eleven hours later, she was gone. Seventy years on, the question of who was at fault has never been fully settled. This documentary reconstructs the collision using the ship's original engineering plans, examines the competing radar theories that emerged after the disaster, and follows the passengers and crew through the night of the rescue — one of the largest civilian sea rescues in history. All animations in this film were built by hand from the Andrea Doria's original plans. No AI-generated imagery was used. ____________ If you enjoyed this video, please consider joining my Patreon to help create more videos like this! https://www.patreon.com/PartTimeExplorer To give a one-time tip, please visit: https://www.historicalfx.com/support Get Lusitania: An Illustrated Biography here: Volume 1: https://atlanticliners.com/store/?model_number=9781803995236 Volume 2: https://atlanticliners.com/store/?model_number=9781803995243 ____________ LIKE.
