Buch Erstausgabe
Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition glossy photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Introduction; Epilogue: Passages; Appendix 1: Passengers and Crew on the Andrea Doria; Appendix 2: In Memoriam; Notes; Glossary; Sources; and Index. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and black-and-white drawings/diagrams. "On July 25, 1956, a most unlikely collision between two ocean liners took place off the foggy shoals of Nantucket. The catastrophic ramming of the Stockholm into Italy's crown jewel, the Andrea Doria, sent shock waves around the world. Author Pierette Domenica Simpson becomes the first Andrea Doria survivor to publish a first-hand account of a clamity that could have been another Titanic. As an eyewitness, Simpson presents gripping vignettes retold by poor immigrants, wealthy travelers, members of the clergy, and the ships' crew. They all describe their despair and elation after staring at their own reflections in the black ocean that night and seeing death stare back. By happenstance, the interviews, documents, and memoirs used to collect tales of survival served also to resuscitate the cold case that surrounded the tragedy. Alive on the Andrea Doria! uses scientific data and boldly confronts the controversies surrounding the collision. Photographs, diagrams, and charts reconstruct a story that has always been available but has never before been published." - from the rear outer cover. "Finally, a riveting firsthand account of the sinking of the Andrea Doria. ierette SImpson's heart-felt, engaging prose and her insight make the reader marvel at the depths of her research and her knack for expressing human emotion with the written word. A real pleasure to read!" - Kevin F. McMurray, author. "Befitting the fiftieth anniversary of the collision, this book details with irrefutable scientific evidence what caused the tragedy, challenging all previous theories. This thrilling tale of survival and intrigue follows the unjust fate of Captain Calamai so that we realize how the twisted bow of the damaged Stockholm symbolizes the twist of fate that befell Calamai and the Italian maritime industry. Alive on the Andrea Doria! will set the historical record straight at last." - Germaine Strobe, ANdrea Doria Survivor. "It is difficult to constrain the fascinating and intricate story of the Andrea Doria tragedy within the pages of a book. But this has been done, thanks to Pierette Simpson. If you like mysteries, do not read this book, because she was there, and she'll tell you the untold truth, putting an end to the Andrea Doria mystery. A praiseworthy achievement!" - Maurizio Eliseo, naval inspector, author, professor, historian.
