Fatal Depth
Every wreck diver is familiar with the collision of the Stockholm and the Andrea Doria. Hailed as one of the greatest sea rescues in history, only a handful of people lost their lives. A half a century later the Doria is still claiming lives.

This is the story of the three men who lost their lives while diving the Doria in the Summers of 1998 and 1999. All died on separate dives aboard the dive boat Seeker operated by Captain Dan Crowell.

Joe Haberstroh, a reporter for Newsday, recreates the summer events that made headlines around the world surrounding the diver’s deaths and tells the harrowing, deadly tales of those men who will do anything to recover a piece of china – even if it means their life.

Andrea Doria: Dive To An Era

The Andrea Doria. One of the most famous shipwrecks in the world. One of the most tragic maritime disasters. One of the greatest sea rescues in history. This is the story of the Doria, often referred to as the Mount Everest of scuba diving, after its collision with the Stockholm on April 25, 1956, written by the man who has over 200 dives on the Doria.

This is the story of the many who tried to raise her, of the many who tried to salvage her, and of the few men who braved the elements in the infancy of scuba diving to dive the Doria only 28 hours after the sinking. Interwoven throughout the rest of the book are dramatic images of china deep inside the Doria and the gripping account of the discovery of the ship’s bell, along with scores of artifacts recovered by the author including his now infamous descent and penetration into the ship’s store.

“The Andrea Doria is a ship that did not die upon sinking, but instead found new meaning.” – Gary Gentile
