Show Notes

On a foggy July night in 1956, two ships crossed paths off the coast of Nantucket, and only one would sail away. When the luxurious Italian liner Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm, it triggered one of the most dramatic maritime disasters of the 20th century. In this episode, we dive into the fatal misjudgements, the botched radar readings, and the incredible rescue that saved over 1,600 lives.
