The MV Wilhelm Gustloff is the ship graced with the greatest loss of life, that being 9,400 souls, she was torpedoed in 1945. Titanic was a mere 1,517 a pittence in comparison. When will people learn that the stigma surrounding Titanic is NOT the loss of life but the fact she was deemed "unsinkable" (by newspapers) Harland and Wolffe nor White Star ever stated she was unsinkable, combine this with her maiden voyage and this is what makes her stand out.
Who are all these clods saying that no one died on the Andrea Doria/Stockholm? HellOOOOoooo, there was a total of 51 deaths upon impact between the two ships...46 deaths on the Andrea Doria and 5 deaths on the Stockholm. Do some research you clowns!
Who are all these clods saying that no one died on the Andrea Doria/Stockholm? HellOOOOOOoooo, there was a total of 51 casualties upon impact. Do some research you clowns!
@starsora1 no no no - it was the wilhelm gustloff ( german liner ) sunk in the baltic sea in 1945 by a russian submarine with nearly 10000 casualties ( german refugees)
@starsora1 wrong titanic was not the worst disaster when in fact the william gustloff was titanic is famous for the stories of the passengers and crew
@24chancer the documentary is called "The sinking of the Andrea Doria", it has been aired on "Secrets of the death" on PBS, on ZDF in Germany and in other countries all around the world. To know more about it, please visit our website
1:30 here is reproduced the main fatal error of italian captain: "timone tutto a sinistra!!!" (turn the timon to the full left). For navigation rules they should have pulled right; so that's what Stocholm did but not expecting the Andrea Doria doing the opposite!! However there should have been a cinematic miscalculation or presumption too before.
I wouldn't say its the most beautiful ship in the world, but it is cool looking ;-) not many ships are made to look like that anymore most are big bulky cruise liners
The Italian crew got really fucked over by the Swedes, especially commander Calamai, the worst thing is that Carsten, the Swede responsible for this disaster, claims it was not his fault, but the Italians'.What a coward bastard...
HEY!Many MANY more people died on titanic and lustania and emprriss of irland.This(Althogh terriabel)is small potatos compared to others.Worst disater....NOT!(Still bad though)
@BorisGodunov I agree with your claim, it was more along the lines of a more infamous maritime disaster more over "the worst shipwreck in history" but any loss of life whether it be one person or 100, it's a horrible thing.
Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst in history. I believe it was late 1944, sunk by the USSR. At any rate I think the reference is to her cost and treasures lost at the time of her sinking not the death total. There are several ships that had great 1,00 death totals. Titanic is more famous for the rich that died and and her size at that time. In Canada ours is the Empress of India killing well over a thousand is barely heard of today.
"One of the worst shipwrecks in history?" Not even close. While the deaths of 56 people is unquestionably a tragedy, it was small potatoes compared to countless other shipwrecks that involved far greater loss of life.
...but do keep in mind the enormous number of shipwrecks, many without any losses of life, that have occurred over time...relative to that, a wreck resulting in 56 deaths is terrible.
Actually,they mean by the wreck itself.Its draped in fishing nets,the weather there changes almost always from sun to storms,and many deaths have happened trying to dive to her.
@BorisGodunov It is similar to the sinking of the "Wahine" during a tropical cyclone in Wellington Harbour in 1968, although in that case it was a collision with land, not with a ship, which did it in. Similar long agony, very similar death toll. Then there's the "Queen of the North" ... sad that the prettiest ships meet such ends, but then ships don't live long.
Augustus was a two stacked motor liner wasn't she? Maybe she was torpedoed during WW2 like the Rex and Conte Di Savoia? I've never been able to find out.The Conte Biancamano survived well into the 50's,anyway.
Augustus was in effect a two stack motor ship. She was intended to be converted in aircraft carrier SPARVIERO,but the project was abandoned after the armistice. scrapped 1947 after being sunk in Genoa .
Augustus n.2 was another motor vessel,class Giulio Cesare (somilar to andrea doria.)
built 1952 for south america line of the ITALIA.
it was reported to exist as ASIAN PRINCESS in philippine 1990.

USS Arizona was the worst sinking. Titanic does not have a memorial over it neither does Andrea Doria. And, USS Arizona is one of the only ships in the world still lekaing oil after it was sunk.
Irrelevant. The Titanic and Andrea Doria have no memorials above them because they are in deep waters -- there are memorials elsewhere. The USS Arizona only has a memorial over it because its sinking depth is so shallow that B and X barbettes remain above the surface, which is also why its oil leaks are visible. By death tolls, the Arizona was tragic (1,177 dead), but ranks about 10th in capital warships. Add in aircraft carriers and troop or refugee transports, and the Arizona drops even more.
memorials dont mean crap. you cant put a memorial above titanic cuz its like some 3 miles below the surface. all 3 were terrible tradgedies. is it that important as to witch one is the worst.
The Titanic wasn't either. There have been many many many more horrible shipwrecks like the Cap Arcona and Wilhelm Gustloff. The Wilhelm Gustloff is the worst with a loss of somewhere from 5300 to 9400 dead and 1500 survivors. Half of the dead were children.
Guys Titanic is by far the worst ship sinking in the world. over 1,000 ppl died many of them were children no ship sinking could compare to Titanic! imo
the titanic was just one of the better known wrecks because of all of the publicity around it. What about the Lusitania(the cruise liner that was torpedoed by german sub) or the tiantic's sister ship the britanica
a terrible disaster & a sad loss of a beautiful ship but consider that loss of life was fairly low most died in initial collition nothing could be done for them AD lasted for more thn 8 hrs before sinking by then shps & a/c had evacuated all survivors Just 4 yrs later 2 a/c collided over NYC & 134 people died air travel by then had triumphed over sea but to this day an air disater is more final than a sea one...GO FIGURE What Do You Think? Please Reply
Isn't that the ship were all those people were murdered by Nazi bandits who had their sights set on gold bars in the ships storage but somehow they and the whole ship dissapeared and rumors dispearsed that they're souls were being harvested so a forsaken could find salvation.
the Stockholm that sunk the Andrea Doria is still in service as the SS Agean in the Classic INternational Cruises, but it only sails in mainland Europe... I'd have to learn more languages.. :(
The Andrea Doria sank on July 25, 1956 and 56 people lost their lifes that day! Also the Andrea Doria had over one million dollars in artwork on the ship and was sometimes called a floating museum. One of my friends has a uncle who is a survivor of the Andrea Doria! The Andrea Doria lies in 350 feet of water 25 miles south of Nantucket Lightship!
I totally agree with you, but the problem is that crash between the 2 ships was so horrible people might not want to go on a ship that claimed so manny lifes!
it didnt take any lifes i believe. everyone abandoned the ship while the captin stayed back believing someone would tug it to saftey which he knew it was to late so he later abandoned
The Andrea Doria sank because it hit another ship called the Stockholm. The Andrea Doria now lies 45 miles south of nantucket light ship in 250 ft of water
The Andrea Doria sank on July 25, 1956 and now lies in 250 ft of water 45 miles south of Nantucket light ship. I do agree with everyone's thoughts that it was Carstons (3rd mate) fault for the collison.
46 people were killed in total. 40 people from and the Andrea Doria and 6 from the Stockholm that were part of the crew. I do agree that it was Carstons (the third mate) fault because he was suppost to alert the captian of the Stockholm if they incountered heavy fog.
Well that might not be the best place to start out diving because so MANY people have lost their lives trying to dive down to the Andrea Doria. I bet you have heard of David Bright before he died trying to dive down to the Andrea Doria. BE CAREFUL!
you can dive it. you will need to have a trimix certification as well. drysuit diver, deep diver, and if you are planning to go inside the wreck you will need a penetration cert. after you get those you need experience. you can do it but it takes a long time to be ready for this kind of technical diving
Modern computer tracking has proven that the Stockholm was clearly at fault for the accident when it suddenly veared to the right and into the Andrea Doria. The officer of the Stockholm lied thru his teeth all these years about this. He should rot in hell for both sinking the beautiful Andrea Doria and for all the people he killed in the collision.
No disrespect intended, but we must remeber that a disaster is not made by one mistake alone.
If speed was reduced on iether ship, if the fog hadn't been so heavy, if so many things that DID happen, DIDN'T, then maybe this horrible event wouldn't have happened.
Maybe it should just be chalked up to fate.
(However, I DO also believe that the 3rd officer lied)
there was also the fact that the crew of the stockholm was not correctly reading there radar, and they did not have there fog horn sounding alerts while they were in such thick fog
This documentary was aired in the United States by PBS, in Germany by ZDF, in Italy by RAI, in the United Kingdom by History Channel, and by other broadcasters all around the world.

a terrible disaster & a sad loss of a beautiful ship but consider that loss of life was fairly low most died in initial collition nothing could be done for them AD lasted for more thn 8 hrs before sinking by then shps & a/c had evacuated all survivors Just 4 yrs later 2 a/c collided over NYC & 134 people died air travel by then had triumphed over sea but to this day an air disater is more final than a sea one...GO FIGURE What Do You Think? Please Reply

Isn't that the ship were all those people were murdered by Nazi bandits who had their sights set on gold bars in the ships storage but somehow they and the whole ship dissapeared and rumors dispearsed that they're souls were being harvested so a forsaken could find salvation.

the Stockholm that sunk the Andrea Doria is still in service as the SS Agean in the Classic INternational Cruises, but it only sails in mainland Europe... I'd have to learn more languages.. :(

The Andrea Doria sank on July 25, 1956 and 56 people lost their lifes that day! Also the Andrea Doria had over one million dollars in artwork on the ship and was sometimes called a floating museum. One of my friends has a uncle who is a survivor of the Andrea Doria! The Andrea Doria lies in 350 feet of water 25 miles south of Nantucket Lightship!

it's not that deep. it's at around 250 fsw

The Andrea Doria would be a nice ship today, I think it has to be built again. It would be very nice to travel in a transatlantic liner like that.

Well,
I totally agree with you, but the problem is that crash between the 2 ships was so horrible people might not want to go on a ship that claimed so manny lifes!
Gallop1234 3 years ago
it didnt take any lifes i believe. everyone abandoned the ship while the captin stayed back believing someone would tug it to saftey which he knew it was to late so he later abandoned

The Andrea Doria sank on July 25, 1956 and now lies in 250 ft of water 45 miles south of Nantucket light ship. I do agree with everyone's thoughts that it was Carstons (3rd mate) fault for the collison.
Gallop1234 4 years ago
MThe Andrea Doria sank on July 25, 1956 and over
46 people were killed in total. 40 people from and the Andrea Doria and 6 from the Stockholm that were part of the crew. I do agree that it was Carstons (the third mate) fault because he was suppost to alert the captian of the Stockholm if they incountered heavy fog.

I really want to dive o that ship. Ill get my deep diver licence soon.

PLEASE!
Be careful.
You may already know that the wreck of the Andrea Doria is VERY treacherous and has claimed lives even after it has sunk.
May God be you.

Hope you have some really good tech and wreck diving experience because It'll take a lot more than just doing your deep to dive the Doria.
smash29 4 years ago
Well that might not be the best place to start out diving because so MANY people have lost their lives trying to dive down to the Andrea Doria. I bet you have heard of David Bright before he died trying to dive down to the Andrea Doria. BE CAREFUL!
Gallop1234 4 years ago
you can dive it. you will need to have a trimix certification as well. drysuit diver, deep diver, and if you are planning to go inside the wreck you will need a penetration cert. after you get those you need experience. you can do it but it takes a long time to be ready for this kind of technical diving

Modern computer tracking has proven that the Stockholm was clearly at fault for the accident when it suddenly veared to the right and into the Andrea Doria. The officer of the Stockholm lied thru his teeth all these years about this. He should rot in hell for both sinking the beautiful Andrea Doria and for all the people he killed in the collision.
JimmyCFO 4 years ago 2
No disrespect intended, but we must remeber that a disaster is not made by one mistake alone.
If speed was reduced on iether ship, if the fog hadn't been so heavy, if so many things that DID happen, DIDN'T, then maybe this horrible event wouldn't have happened.
Maybe it should just be chalked up to fate.
(However, I DO also believe that the 3rd officer lied)
Unownshipper 4 years ago
Actually both ships did reduce their speeds, but it takes over a mile to turn the ships because they are so big.
Gallop1234 4 years ago
there was also the fact that the crew of the stockholm was not correctly reading there radar, and they did not have there fog horn sounding alerts while they were in such thick fog
