In Passing:

I received an email from the Lorenzo Gatto Ronchieri who is the grandson of Andrea Doria crewman Antonio Gatto Ronchieri who passed away a number of years ago. He sent some documents that he found that his grandfather had and I will review them and post them on the web site.

Book:

Deep Descent by Kevin F. McMurray. Published by Pocket Books.

Very fascinating book on diving the Andrea Doria. Kevin takes you along on his dive to the Andrea Doria and tells you about the difficulties on diving at the depth of the Andrea Doria. He also chronicles the previous dives to the ship by other divers, and the twelve that lost their lives in the attempt to conquer the Mount Everest of diving.

I was curious if you have an idea where I could find a copy of the video Andrea Doria - The Final Chapter?  I am sure you have heard of it.  The video was about the recover of the ship's safe.  Please let me know.
