21:10 Of the 46 Doria passengers who died in the disaster, 43 were in the direct line of the collision. All but one died instantly or shortly after, with the last being First Class passenger Martha Peterson. She was trapped in the remnants of her cabin and was severely injured. Her husband Thure and crewman Giovanni Rovelli fought for hours to save her, but she died from her injuries a few hours later. The bodies of Martha Peterson and the other 42 lost in the collision went down with the ship and were never recovered.
Please do ones on ships lost in the Great Lakes storm of 1913 Multiple sinkings happened: Leafield (1892) Henry B Smith (1906) Plymouth (1854) Argus (1905) James C Carruthers (1913) Hydrus (1903) John A McGean (1908) Charles S. Price (1910) Regina (1907) Issac M. Scott (1909) Wexford (1883) LV-82 (1911) Louisiana (1887) the only total loss whose crew survived. There's potential for a series arc here.
The reference to "Shipping Lanes" is totally irrelevant, its advisory not regulatory, The legal requirement is to follow the Collision Regulation. Rule 14 - Head-on situation (a) When two power-driven vessels are meeting on reciprocal or nearly reciprocal courses so as to involve risk of collision each shall alter her course to starboard so that each shall pass on the port side of the other.
Throughout history ships have listed when stricken. And yet they still design lifeboats that cannot be launched during any significant list. How many thousands of people must die before this long standing fallacy is remedied ? I have even heard of boats that cannot launch when the ships electric power is disrupted....Like that never happens during a sinking..
I think you need to do some research in to why launching a lifeboat with a large list list is not possible, its pretty simple geometry. Life boats do not require any power to launch, its all powered by gravity, Maybe give some references?
i do believe the brittanic had life boat launchers that could extend farther past the normal (i cant think of the names of them) life boat launchers in case of an extreme list, and that those special lifeboat holders can launch boats to either side in case one side of the ships lifeboats couldnt be launched. i do not know if any other ships have adopted this ive not heard of another ship doing this however it could be that they have them nowadays it was just the brittanic that was the first one to have this concept
Another strong effort...At this rate you'll have to change your disclaimer. You are a "mariner".... historian.
Thank you very much, we appreciate that!
Good Vid! The Chrysler Corporation had a concept car "Norseman" Made by Ghia in Italy was on The Andrea Doria. The ONLY one built .
something i found amazing from this sinking is that a young girl from Doria was found on board the Stockholm when her cabin was hit
Her name is Linda Morgan. Her mother also survived but her stepfather and 8 year old sister were killed
i must have mis-heard, thought she was the only survivor from her family on the ship

I think we can all agree that a certain other captain of a doomed Italian passenger ship can learn a few things from this ship's captain.
@@nathanielpatterson-rc9dq *cough cough* Costa Concordia! Excuse me, did I say that out loud?! 😂 It's true!
On the topic of ship captains, when Captain Calamai was dying, the last words he said were "The passengers, are they safe?".
Such a beautiful ship.
Such a tragic end for its passengers and crew.
Is this a podcast? I legit just found your channel and have been listening for days at work on repeat
Thanks so much! We go for the podcast format, and if you're looking for an audio-only format we are on Spotify as well!
I think the Dorea's Capt. got a bad rap.
With the Capt. of the Stockhome not admitting his faults.
I agree!
It's hard to fathom how huge the ocean is. To ram one ship into another in open seas takes astounding incompetence.

That's a great idea for a mini-series! I'll have to put that on our list. Thank you so much for your suggestion!
RMS Leinster is a great ship to do a video about the National Maritime Museum of Ireland holds lots of artifacts about the sinking 🤙🏽🇨🇮
