Is Andrea Doria wreck haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

The Andrea Doria is the radar's failure — the '56 collision that shouldn't have been, the Stockholm that hit starboard. The rescue was the miracle — the 1,660 saved before the sink, the Ile de France that helped. The art is the lost — the floating gallery that the liner was, the Monet that's at the bottom.

The depth is the diver's — the 250 feet that's the Everest of wreck diving, the china that they bring up. The cause is the debate — the port-to-port that was misread, the blame that's still argued. The Andrea Doria is the elegant — the liner that was the pride, the fog that took it.

The file keeps the Andrea Doria: the 1956 collision, the 51 dead, the 1,660 rescued, and the wreck.

The Andrea Doria is the archive's Nantucket file — the radar's victim.

Why this file matters

The Andrea Doria is the archive's Nantucket file — the unsinkable that sank.

A liner keeps its art — the file's suggestion being that the Doria's hold is the collision: the radar that failed, the rescue that saved most, and the gallery that's the wreck.
