$19.95
Dive
to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean to unlock the mysteries of the Italian
luxury liner once touted as unsinkable. The Andrea Doria was the exquisitely
appointed flagship of Italy's post-war fleet.
Then, on a summer night more than forty years after the sinking of the
Titanic, the world was stunned as the impossible repeated itself. Unlike the
Titanic however, the Andrea Doria sank due to human error, causing a
whirlwind of rumors about sunken treasure and crew negligence. Was the
treasure real? Why did she sink? The answers to these questions seemed
forever-locked in mystery as the doomed liner settled in her watery grave.
The day after her sinking though, young adventurer Peter Gimbel became the
first person to dive to the wreck and returned to the site often over the
next two decades to probe for answers. Revisit Peter's final trip to the
site in 1981 as he explored submerged passageways and attempted to salvage
the liner's safes. See how his 25-year obsession with the Andrea Doria
unlocked the riddles surrounding its sinking and solve once and for all the
mystery surrounding this tragedy. 50 minutes. (Note: The above photo is not
the Andrea Doria)
