On July 25, 1956, the SS Andrea Doria, a luxurious Italian ocean liner operated by Italia Line, collided with the MS Stockholm off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts. The accident caused the Andrea Doria to capsize and sink the following morning, marking one of the most infamous maritime disasters of the 20th century. This video features archival footage and restored clips from the aftermath of the collision — including rescue efforts, passenger evacuations, and the tragic final moments of the once-proud liner. Despite the chaos, over 1,600 people were saved in what became one of the most successful large-scale sea rescues in history.
