Well, it was intense. They were desperately trying to get everyone still alive off the ship before it went under. Miraculously they succeeded, thanks to the heroism of the Ile de France and others. This could have easily been another Titanic level disaster.
Holdington, from history. The term unsinkable was coined by White Star Line. People literally claimed Titanic was unsinkable, and it was in the newspapers as well as White Star Line's brochures.
That's no tragedy. How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? According to my book.. It eased into the water like an old man into a nice warm bath. No offense.
I was on a weekend vacation at Martha's Vineyard, MA which was the closest island to the Andria Doria. Friday had been a warm sunny day perfect for enjoying the sandy beach. Saturday the fog was extremely dense. It was impossible to see your hand in front of your own face. All the tourists could do was stay inside and amuse themselves without the beach. Sunday morning at the crack of dawn we learned of the wreck of the Andria Doria in the early a.m. Saturday night. It was so tragic and sad but there was nothing that anyone on Martha's Vineyard could do. It was on the tv with helicopters filming it from the sky. I will always remember that I randomly there the weekend of the sinking of the Andria Doria.
Mico Carlo Adrian Ruiz, in the end, it wasn't the shelling that sunk the Bismarck. Her own crew sunk her to keep her from being captured by the British. She was strong as hell but still not unsinkable.
I’ve never heard anybody say this ship was unsinkable before. Actually, nobody even said Titanic was unsinkable except for a magazine with newspapers played up after the disaster for more drama
Kulax She wasn't actually believed unsinkable as they say here. She was just seen as very, very safe but not unsinkable. And to top it all the titanic was never believed unsinkable either, it was just an attribution they had given to it but both the press and the passengers new it wasn't for real, it was just to emphasize it was very safe.
Universo Selena They were DENOMINATED unsinkable, it was an attribution to their safety. The ACTUAL belief was, in fact, that it was very safe. You should watch the second real time sinking of honor and glory, they bring this up and they researched A REAL LOT about everything.
The owners of the Andrea Doria never claimed it was "unsinkable." No one dared do that after the Titanic went down. The Andrea Doria was never meant to be the biggest, fastest ship in the world, but was considered the most luxurious.
The Andrea Doria’s sinking was actually the first time that the sinking of a ship was filmed and broadcast on TV. But at the time that the Andrea Doria sank was when the jet plane become a better vehicle for crossing the Atlantic. Thus ended the Age of Ocean Liners.
Actually the sinking of HMS Audacious in 1914, the sinking of the Austro-Hungurian battleship SMS Szent Istáv in 1918 and the sinking of HMS Barham in 1941 where also filmed

Half of them could not be launched due to the list. The reason everyone got off is because the Île de France sailed up and started taking them aboard with her own.
The biggest amount of assistance came from the French Liner Ile De France,her captain deliberately turned her around and raced to the site pulling 735 to safety
I was out to lunch with friends today and they told me about a friend of theirs who went on a large cruise ship and, during a conversation with the captain, asked "How often do large ships like this one sink?" The reply was "Usually, only the once."
Two compartments were punctured, and the starboard fuel tanks were ruptured. That’s why she rolled into her side. From there, it’s just water trickling in through windows and portholes, door frames, vents... she took nearly a day to sink.
You would think, after the Titanic tragedy, people would learn their lessons about calling ships "unsinkable". It's almost as if the sea laughs and says "you really think that tin tub is "unsinkable"!? Hold my beer and watch this shit!" No ship is unsinkable, period, regardless of how "safe" or "strong" she is or how much water she can "safely" take on and stay afloat.
REMEMBER R.M.S TITANIC No, but her bow would be absolutely crushed and many would die, should she have done so, if she survived, there would be Controversy and criticism of her captain and crew.
The Titanic had 16 watertight compartments, and the ship could stay afloat with up to four of these compartments flooded. After hitting the iceberg, water began flooding the Titanic's forward six compartments. Sooo, yeah, maybe if she did collide face to face with the iceberg she would? _maybe_
no it wasn't, the movie was based off a book of the same name released in the early 50s by Walter Lord(I think that was his name)correct me if I'm wrong
@@michaelfreeman3157 --Yes, the book was released in 1955 by Walter Lord, and the movie came out in '58. I read that book in 1977 having been fascinated with the Titanic from a TV show in the 60s.

People: *calls ship unsinkable
Ocean: how many times do i have to teach you this lesson?
Collisions left the chat.
Every ship is unsinkable, right up until it sinks...
Almost
That’s just the laws of karma doing it’s job
Schrödinger's Ship
I love the intense background music of old videos
Zander Xymox yeah! I think it makes the footage more intense and dramatic.
Zander Xymox it’s odd how much it takes the seriousness out while keeping the intensity. Makes it feel like less of a tragedy.
Well, it was intense. They were desperately trying to get everyone still alive off the ship before it went under. Miraculously they succeeded, thanks to the heroism of the Ile de France and others. This could have easily been another Titanic level disaster.
It makes it sound cartoonish to me.
I think people need to stop believing that ships are unsinkable...
+TheJimLeboski ikr XD
It is like when a ship is called unsinkable they sink
The sea laughs and takes it as a challenge.
I don't think anyone thinks they are unsinkable. Where did you get that from?
Holdington, from history. The term unsinkable was coined by White Star Line. People literally claimed Titanic was unsinkable, and it was in the newspapers as well as White Star Line's brochures.
Don't ever call a ship unsinkable because the unthinkable will happen
yeah
They pretty much called them all unsinkable, so of course once in awhile they get proven wrong.
It is like when they are called unsinkable they sink
And then... If you call it sinkable then it will be unsinkable?
Calling it "unsinkable" will only jinx it and sink
It's amazing only 46 died
In Britannic only 30 died
Aero air the 46 dead in the Andrea Doria died in the crash
That's no tragedy. How many people do you lose on a normal cruise? 30? According to my book.. It eased into the water like an old man into a nice warm bath. No offense.
The fact that it took so long to sink, as well as the fact that help was already on the scene, played major roles in that.
In the oceanos 0 people died

“There once was a ‘BAM!’ off Nantucket....”
(Too soon?)
It’s weird to hear them say that the titanic sank 44 years ago
And in 1955 I was docked next to her at NY harbour. I have an old black and white photo of her somewhere.
There Is no such thing as an unsinkable ship. Never has been.
The Bismarck took an eternity to sink, taking 2500 or more shells to sink it
Mico Carlo Adrian Ruiz true, but she was little more than a hunk of metal, and most of her crew were dead. Also, never will be.

Queen mary
MrColz, not even. The Queen Mary has simply never experienced a devastating event that would sink her, but all ships can be sunk.
Stockholm: "Unsinkable? Hold my beer..."
This is the first time I hear her labelled "unsinkable"
I’ve never heard anybody say this ship was unsinkable before. Actually, nobody even said Titanic was unsinkable except for a magazine with newspapers played up after the disaster for more drama
It was said a few months after Titanic’s launch, in 1911. It was a common thing to say about her before the sinking.
"was believed to be unsinkable" yeh well that's what they said about the titanic but you know what that ship also did? it sunk!

Or about the “Empress of Ireland”, which between the sinking of Titanic and Lusitania also resulted in the loss of 1000+ lives.

That ship what hit the Andrea Doria and sank it has lasted all the way up until a couple weeks ago
Call ships sinkable they will be okay unsinkable that’s a different story
Is it weird that I can imagine the scenes colourised but in the exact colour like if it could have been filmed now a days? :0
At least they got enough lifeboats....

The effects are felt in the decades to follow, as this causes George Costanza to lose a very nice appartment, some 40 years later.
Jonas Hansen ....
Are you seriously talking about it...
Amazing this happened 60yrs ago today.
Perhaps we should stop calling ships unsinkable. Best not to tempt fate.
Only you alone have that opportunity.
She's name is comes from Genoan Admiral Andrea Doria who was lost the Battle of Preveza against Ottoman Navy in 1538.
Ships are unsinkable, until you put them in water, then they have the opportunity to sink
Every ship is unsinkable until it sinks.
The bow was absolutely destroyed
it is now the Stockholm penetrated the Doria's starboard side just aft of the bridge
I have several family members that survived this sinking. Tragic.
Tragic they survived?
amazing
saying that the ship is unsinkable
then it sinks with one compartment flooded
*sigh*
Crafty Dude one?

Unsinkable he says, well, they said that about the titanic, and that sank, this sank, and other unsinkable sank, God’s got it out for unsinkable ships

But what about RMS Olympic she survived two accidents and still was able to stay afloat
Someone had said about Titanic was that "God himself couldn't sink this ship". Well he did.
george costanza - it settled into the water like an old man in a warm bath
anyone know the song used in this like what orchestra played it?
Ships are made of iron so they can sink
When a smaller and likely more maneuverable ship crashes into the side of a larger ship, the smaller ship is almost certainly to blame.
I never understood why they hit each other surely the doria would not have sunk if they hadn't.
bertrumbum fishfuker Fog was hella thick in the area. Same reason Empress Of Ireland went down
Emperor Sheev Palpatine also the Stockolm had the radar set on the wrong distance
Costing between 7 and 8 million pounds 👀
So thats what happens if you leave the lifeboats still attached,they don't sink they snap off the ropes!
egpunkrole only the ones on one side could be lowered
if titanic would hit iceberg head on I believe it would've made it like the STOCKHOLM.
It wouldn't have, it would have been obliterated and sank in minutes.
Exactly. I'm so sick of this stupid argument.
