Book: Picture History of the Andrea Doria, by Bill Miller

Used paperback, good condition

Value: $21 

Graceful, fast and luxuriously outfitted, the Andrea Doria was one of the most famous ships of the 20th Century. Embodying luxury at sea, this Italian ship was also a floating gallery, displaying an extraordinary array of original art.

On July 26, 1956, three years after her inaugural voyage, the Italian liner collided with the Stockholm off the New England coast and sank.

Maritime expert Bill Miller pays tribute to this magnificent ship in this authoritative, profusely illustrated archive. Nearly 200 rare photographs provide views of spacious lounges, elegant staterooms, the ship in port.

Extensive captions provide data on tonnage, size, speed and other vitalstatistics.
