By Pierette Domenica Simpson. The greatest sea rescue in history reads the subtitle, and the headlines of the day, when in July of 1956 two ocean liners collided in the fog off the coast of Nantucket. The author is the first Andrea Doria survivor to publish an account of the events leading up to and immediately after that tragedy. Her first-hand account put an end to the half-century mystery of the Andrea Doria. 6x9 312 pages index, bibliography, end notes, appendices b&w photos Paper $18.00
