  • Great video! I had just turned 10 the the ship sunk and remember seeing the limited things they showed on the news. Thanks for taking me back!

  • I am an Ocean Liner expert, and when I watched this video, I noticed that you put in details that were crucial to the point. I think you did an amazing job.

    Totally enjoyed it. You should be proud of yourself.

    :)

  • Great job on this video, young lady. I've been fascinated by this subject since reading "Collision Course" way way back, even before I spent four years in the Coast Guard (in Mass..: ). Keep up the good work.

  • Very nicely done.

  • Excellent job.

    One point: The ship is named for a man and as such should be pronounced "An-DRAY-A Doria". Don't worry; nobody pronounces it properly...just a pet peeve of mine :)

  • at first your voice reminded me of a 7th grade boy. but the way you read was fantastic! you should have got first place

  • @captainofthetitanic um...the way you wrote this makes me think it is more a insult that a compliment.. soo thanks??????????????????????

  • @kevincohenrox Um.. I am a girl.. and the whole voice thing being hot.. is kinda a little bit sketchy.. JUST SAYING

  • Nice work! I was looking for a diving video and came upon this and watched the whole thing. Lots of info in a short package, good job!

  • The most significant naval disasters that COULD have been avoided! Most of these ships could still be afloat if only people would LEARN from previous disasters! But at least this disaster didn't have someone saying "we could get to point a faster if we just sped up a little'

  • @ShadowGuardian3337 Not to be rude or anything, but why are you writing random things on my video?

  • @Gallop1234 That's not about random things. I've been reading about this ship since I first heard of it back in the late 80's early 90's, this isn't the first Liner lost where a lesson hasn't been learned.

  • Great post

    Thanks

  • Very informative, thorough and well made! Congratulations, Gallop1234!

  • @OilCrash Thank you.. The reason it is so informative is because we need to tell the story of the historical event in 10 mins.

  • This video is briliant, I love the narating!

  • @tonightwefly Thanks so much :D.. This video took me forever to do....

  • Great job,my compliments to you!!!

  • Good Job 5/5!!! you know your history. By the way i live in Boston.

  • Haha thanks I think? It was my first documentary i did for this contest... You should check out my cuban missile crisis one too... Its a lot better than this one. :D

  • For being in Middle school at the time t his is a great job!!!!!

  • Yes.. It should have been 1st. But still. 3rd is awesome.

    This video honestly is really good. Gave lots of info I love it!

  • This is very good. Best video clips I've seen of the Andrea Doria. Very good.

  • how did you get those rare footages?????

  • I think you should get a better attitude and put a bar of soap in your mouth.

  • Very nice job Gallop. My cousins best friend was aboard the Doria when it was rammed, although she was only two years old and does not remember.

  • O really thanks so much...

  • Some day I will explore the Andrea Doria sometime but visit her in a sub because I read a book called Ghost Liners Exploring the World's Greatest Lost Ships and the Andrea Doria was one of the five ships that Robert D. Ballard visited the Andrea Doria and believes that visiting the Andrea Doria is very hard and there's too many shark there. One of my friend's dad was asked to explore the Andrea Doria, but he refused. The guy how toke my friend's dad placed died on the visit.

  • O awesome and sorry to hear that...

  • @CrazyMataNui510 ~ I think I read that the Doria has claimed more divers' loves than any other wreck, and I'm sure that more divers have died than passengers in the original collision. I'm not so sure about the sharks, but it's in a very dangerous position.

  • Nice it's very good

  • Thanks?

  • Gallop, you've done a VERY fine job, and you win my FIRST prize! I was six years old when this disaster happened, and I remember it as if it were yesterday. I can't tell you how much I admire your video.

  • Um.. Haha thanks ya idc about what place i got now, but back then ya I was pretty upset.. Thanks for your support XD!!!

  • I've been a ship buff since the 1st grade and I'm 24 now and I found this video great, It really captured my attention. I do however have a little constructive criticism, In the beginning you mention conspiracy and there really wasn't one, It was just an arguement between the Sweedish gov't and the Italian gov't over money, In the case of the Lusitania sinking, there was plenty of conspiracy regarding Winston Churchhill tipping off the germans, Just my two cents but great video

  • Thanks for your criticism, but I honestly don't care...

  • You have a serious attitude problem

  • Um lets think shall we... I am sick and tired of people correctly me on things that they are completely clueless on or saying oh you should have won first. I don't care anymore about this project I put this video up when I was a stupid middleschooler and now I am in fucking highschool and this project doesn't mean shit to me. If you are trying to pick a fight with someone wrong person to annoy buddy. Get a life..

  • @Gallop1234 why r u so upset? The video is great. And, u have to know that whatever you post on YOUTUBE, you will get comments, both negative and positive. so far, most of the comments have been positive. Relax

  • @Gallop1234 - I think your project is very good - very good information. dont pay attention to those that have to criticize.

  • @krstnlhjt Thanks:D

  • Good job. I agree with Busterkeatonrules. You should look into this as a career.

  • Great documentary - you could make stuff like this for a living!

  • Thanks so much XD This was my first doc ever in this competition and my dad that was helping me with the narration for it was making me very nervous,,

  • good job!!! you did your home work, most kids dont know eny thing now days, would like to see you do more,

  • You did a really good job. Thanks! x

  • i have a note book that has ships even the andrea doria

  • If you would have read a little bit faster, i could not understand even a single word...

  • Ok if you don't like it don;t watch it ok thanks so go away..

  • At time 4:40, the Stockholm followed the open sea custom of always turning starboard to avoid a collision. Andrea Doria was required to turn starboard too, and would have avoided contact if they had. Their radar could spot the other ship up to fifty miles away, even in night fog. This accident was due to severe human error -- "fog" was just used an excuse and dodge. Shameful work by each ship's steering and navigation crew that night. They should have been jailed, since people died from it.

  • dickhead

  • goodone mate

  • @gerbunny, please have your hearing checked

  • This was an excellent presentation about the Andrea Doria Stockholm accident.

    Well done.

  • 0:45 it sounds like the narrators voice is starting to crack as if she is going to cry.

  • Asswhole I could like to see u do better..

  • Very well done. You should work for the History Channel later in life,as this is excellant work. You should have won.I give you first place.

  • I do not believe mrceebees14 said this as a discredit or a slander, but to emphasize the emotions and deep feelings you have for this subject.

    This was very well prepared, and executed. As others here have said, well done, and you should look into the possibilities of working for some one such as The National Geographic.

    We all await your next topic... :D

    TDYooper

  • Well done. I have been interested in the Andrea Doria, from a very young age, (I am 23 now). My friends and I were very impressed with your presentation. At least you placed third. But we rate you FIRST. Well done!!!

  • great entry - how is it you did not get at least first or second place

    i entered in NHD in 2009 and came in 3rd place in the web page category

  • is that state or district you came in third place?

  • I have a family friend who was on that ship when it was hit and sank. He was glad that he got off alright.

  • Well Done!! I enjoyed your video very much.Your Post shows your maturity and clear thinking.Stand your ground.Harsh Language may not be appropriate,but sometimes most crucial to conveying your message.

  • Ok thanks and sorry about my language!

  • I have bad language too. Only thing is, I'm not sorry. :P

    I actually wanted to make a short film about the Andrea Doria. It's crazy how it stayed afloat for several hours until capsizing. Love live Poseidon. :)

  • Haha!!!

  • Very Well Spoken!

  • Thank you soo muchhh :)

  • very historical im glad to see you know your history but i also heard the story before i blame the stockholm,

    cause to me the andrea doria was a

    beutiful ship till the very end

  • It was the third mate of the stockholmes fault the Andrea Doria was nott to blame at all

  • are u a girl or a boy??

  • girl.... Why?

  • just askin...

  • WOW FREAK DON'T TALK TO ME

  • it sounds like a girl

  • wow only a person with no brains would not realize it was a girl speaking in this video... GET A CLue

  • this is an exelent video nicly done i would give it a 10/10

  • Thank you soo muchhh

  • Nicely done

  • Beauty job. if this was done for a school project, I hope you got an A+.

  • If that was 3rd I'd like to see 1st and 2nd because you did a great job. 1 being really sucky and 10 being something from the History Channel I give this a 7. which in my book is really good.

  • um... thanks i think? O and by the way the people that won the 1st and 2nd places videos were boring as hell and not very interesting. If you are going to insult me why don't you just fuck off because I don't appreciate it.

  • He gave you a compliment. He ranked your video close to a History Channel documentary. Think before reacting like an immature child.

    Other than that I found your video to be entertaining, well researched and well put together.

  • Ok asswhole fuck off I don't give a shit what you think of me and if you comment on my video again I will block you and report you to the managers of youtube for harassment. FUCK OFF JERK

  • Whoa!! What did this guy say? Anyways you did a really good job, I was 10 when this happened and couldn't get enough news of it.

  • Haha Thanks!!! What guy r u talking about? Also omg you were ten when this happened that must have been a very scary thought for you... Since like after that it was probably was very scary for alot of people to get on a boat.

  • I meant the person you threatened to report to youtube. No it didn't scare me, even then I was always interested in what was under water, which led me to take up diving years later. What led you to do this story?

  • Wow.. I know some people are jerks on youtube... :( Um... what choose me to do this topic was I had a ex friend who's uncle was a survivor of the Andrea Doria and it really interested me...

  • i think yours seems better than the 1st n 2nd any ways

  • Did you see the other two videos? I didn't think they were that great, but the judges said that this video was not boring enough..

  • no, what were they about?

  • Well one was about the Space Race Usa v.s Russia and the other was about the Vietnam war they were okay not that great:)

  • im not really intrested in either and i first read about the andrea doria when i was 6 so i think yours sounds alot better

  • Titanic hit a iceberg in 1912, Britannia hit a mine and got torpeded, Olympic the last ship of sister ship to Titanic and Britannic got taken out of service in 1930 and made to spikes

  • that was a great vid it explains soo much!

  • u could say "she" instead of andrea doria all the time

  • um well the stockholm was also a she so they wouldn't know what I was talking about. BTW don't comment on things when you don't know the rules of the competition it was in. Also how many videos do u have that is the 3rd best documentary in Mass of 2006... So i wouldn't be talking!!!

  • Great job,very thorough.Maybe you'll work for Discovery or the History Channel some day.

  • Aww.... Thank you so much! LOL maybe someday I might decide to work for Discovery or the History Channel!

  • that would be really cool my uncle was working with robert ballard when he found the bismark titanic and a few other ships its hard but pays terriffic!!! :D

  • ur welcome

  • u rock this vid is great!

  • aww.... thank you so... much!

  • you know the Andrea Doria very well!

  • thank you

  • no prob

  • Great Video, it's really great, the music, the pictures and videos are perfect in this your video!

  • Thank you so much!

  • Thank you so much! I LOVED making this video! If your a history buff I think you might also like my recent video on the Cuban Missile Crisis!

  • I am very interesting in titanic and all ships that have sinked and this video is great. PS great voice ;)

  • actually the andrea doria was tilted sharply so they could not lower the lifeboats.

    Omg you uncle is a survivor of andrea doria!

    Omgash i wish i knew him!

  • Yup.... The boat was basically underwater on one side so the boats were underwater so they could not be launched so there were not enough lifeboats for all the passagers.

  • great video. your uncle is a survivor?

  • Iv searched every where and have yet to find an answer, The Andrea Doria stayed afloat 11 hours after being struck. When did the captian evacuate the ship? and in that 11 hours was anything saved (art) from the Adrea Doria?

  • andrea doria was the italian titanic

  • oksy thanks I think I know that I really don't need people pretending to take credit for a project I did. SO please stop! Thanks

  • eh vabbè.....

  • Too many lifeboats.

  • not enough lifeboats were about to launch and most of the crew took them so there were not too many left

  • Thank you for a great objective summary of this disaster.

  • thanks and no problem

  • hey, great work i think u did a great job shaun1912

  • Well done Gallop1234. Always thought this ship was a great loss. It does bear striking similarity to the Empress of Ireland collision with the dutch collier Storstad.

    An annoying passing thought is how the hell can these friggin ships keep colliding? Millions of miles of water and still these collisions.

    Anyway, well done!!

  • thanks I loved this video and they interview in the middle of it is my bff's uncle who is a survivor of the andrea doria

  • i agree with u, speeddemon3. i mean like, there are probably more than 50,000 square miles of water on this earth, and these ships. these two ships, barely a blip on the earth's surface just happen to be at the same place at the same time. its just incredible.

  • its basically like the saying "being in the wrong place at the wrong time". i agree that of the entire miles of water in the ocean the boats just happen to run into each other. Great Idea!!!

  • whoever is calling america stupid can kiss my ass. on that note i must say this is a very nice video and i enjoyed it greatly

  • Haha thank you so much! I was wondering if you have seen my other video about the Cuban Missile Crisis?

  • no but i will check it out =)

  • cool,

    Thank you

  • no prob

  • Nice job this is so cool.

  • thanks

  • nice video keep up the great work

  • GREAT VIDEO!!!

  • Thank you soooooo much! I am very happy to hear you liked my video!

  • w/e I bet I know a lot more about the Lusitania than you do

  • Very good video! Full of information!

  • Haha thank you so much

  • very good job! stupid "watertight" compartments...never work

  • Yeah, well everyone on  C deck drowned

  • you mean most of the victims were on C deck, but there were some that were on that level on a different part of the ship from the stockholm that survived as well. actually only one person died from drowning on the wreck. he was the only survivor in his family to survive a shipwreck as a kid so he deliberately allowed himself to go down with the andrea as had his family years before.

  • Hmmmm..... thats interesting I guess you learn something new every day! Also there was a girl names Linda Morgan who got thrown from her cabin which was where the 2 ships hit and ended up on the crushed bow of the Stockholm and some how survived.

  • yea, she was on the andrea, than the ship scraped her room out and she fell on the deck of the stockholm while in her bed.

  • I know isn't that wierd? I wonder how she managed to survive that?

  • i know on the empress of ireland someone was stuck on the 3rd deck and somehow when she violently rolled over, he managed to fly in mid air right through the gash right before she sealed on him than later got pulled over. while another one, swam for 16 miles in below 0 temperatures before getting to shore and walked up to a church door nearby.

  • thats strange

  • It was really coooooool! she survived to! (my aunt)

  • Haha thanks. So how old is your grandmother? If it was not for the 11 hours it took to sink I don't so many people would have made it off the ship!

  • My Great aunt was on the Andra Doria

  • OMG that is so cool!!! My best friend Emily's uncle was a survivor on the Andrea Doria the interview you hear in the video is him. What did you think of the video?

  • Again, nice job. I like the interview.

  • This video is my Nation History Day project from 2007 and it Won third place at states! My best friends uncle was on this ship and at one point of the video you hear him. I hope all viewers enjoy this video. There was lots of hard work going to this video!

    Please only post positive comments!

    Thank You

  • when you mentioned that 46 people died, you also forgot, that the stockholm as well killed. 5 crew members aboard the stockholm were as well killed.

  • Ahh... no I had both ships totals of deaths! I would prefer you no insult my project that took 6 months to complete since you don't have any of your own videos about the Andrea Doria! Thank You

  • you said "46 people died on andrea doria when the ships collided. most at sea deck." and i should be able to say something without you getting all over my hair and taking that as an insult.

  • Well... I am sorry I blew up in your face, but I can't understand why you are making negative comments about a video that is the 3rd best documentary in Massachusetts and took me 6 months to complete! What were your thoughts of my documentary?

  • it was alright. but i was telling you this extra information, in case you did not know about it.

  • Oh.... thats cool!!! So HAVE you ever gotten the chance to go down and see the Andrea Doria in the water? I haven't I was just wondering because you seem like the kind of person who would have gotten the chance to do that

  • i had tried to visit many underwater shipwrecks including the andrea dria, but than is aw how expensive those lessons are, so it is something i have to spend a while waiting for.

  • So have you gotten the chance to see any shipwrecks up close and personal yet? Or is it just one of your goals to do?

  • in the shallow areas of the st.lawrence river, there is a ship from the war of 1812, where over 100 american marines died near kingston when our canadian artillery fired on it, i take a canoe, and on clear days, can stills ee the hull of the wreck nearly 200 years later while still at the surface.

  • Well.... for my vacation I went to Hawaii and I saw the USS Arizona which you might like because there is a memorial built right over the ship so on a calm, clear day you can see inside the ship! It was so COOL!!!

  • you do know that in real life, the US government deliberately allowed the japanese to come into pearl harbour. they did it, for an excuse to go to war, and they put their army in the philipines south of japan to pressure japan. they knew the japanese were coming 4 days in advance but just left their ships there. and had the japanese commander killed them with a 3rd wave of airplanes as planned, the japanese would of taken the USA pacific coastline and conquered australia.

  • Are You Serious Thats So Scary!

  • just like in ww1, the americans and british are possibly said to have deliberately allowed the lusitania to go ahead of mauritania which was her sister warship, so the germans would mistake lusitania for her sister and sink her. but in real life, the americans never went to war for the lusitania in the end. they went there, when seeing the germans were almost dead, and were going to try and get in before it wins, to try and gain more money and power off the war that had raged for years already.

  • stupid americans

  • great going moron. you called your own country stupid because i come from there. pat yourself on the back:)

  • My own country? I think not. I am not American, and besides, I wasn't referring to Americans in the present day, I was referring to the ones who deliberatley led the Japanese to Pearl Harbor and led the Germans to the Lusitania. (If all that is true, the British were also involved with the Lusitania) But those were just casualties of war. No cover-ups there. You don't have to get all defensive just because I said 'stupid americans' You are too proud.

  • i can see that moron or should i say ultradumbass. you just went and called me dumb, so i guess you called your own nation dumb as well if you are not satisfied by me. and i don't give a flying fuck what you know of lusitania. this video has nothing to do with it.

  • you're the one with the nickname ultradumbass you mother f***ker shut the f*** up, besides, my country is a lot better than your piece of crap country, america is a corrupt murder pit that is drying up, where's there's no freedom of speech, and I can post whatever I want about the Lusitania, and I just wish you died when she sank

  • oops! i meant username ultradumbass... and i meant, I wish you died ON the Lusitania when she sank

  • i agree with kougermasters, you suck ultradumbass

  • be a little bit nicer to ultradumbass, kougermasters. no offence, but he's right

  • what, he started it. i just said that if the americans lead the japanese to pearl harbor and led the germans to the lusitania, that they were stupid, he just was being an idiot

  • just both forget about it :D

  • what a stupid argument

  • I didn't ask you a thing, did I?
