ANDREA DORIA


Was reading a article about the Andrea Doria, the Italian liner that sank off the coast of Massachusetts in 1956. It reminded me of a story my Mom & Dad told me when I was a kid. Apparently, when they went to Germany to adopt me in 1956, they sailed on the Andrea Doria to Europe. But they decided for the return trip that we would fly back rather than take the sea voyage. So, apparently, we may have lucked out by not being on the final voyage of the Andrea Doria!

As an aside, a diver who exploring the Andrea Doria, died in July of this year shortly after completing a dive to the wreck.
