____________________________________________________________________Le 25 juillet 1956, venant d'Italie le paquebot Andrea Doria fait route vers New York.
C'est une belle unité de la flotte italienne entrée en service en janvier 1953 service long de 213 m et d'un tonnage de 29.000 t. naviguant à une vitesse moyenne de 24 n½uds.
Parti de Gênes le 17 juillet, le paquebot est en fin de parcours et ses soutes de carburant sont presque vides, le navire est haut sur l'avant.
Il navigue à une vitesse de 21, 3 n½uds depuis la fin de l'après-midi car il est entré dans une zone de brumes, phénomène très courant à cette saison.
Le radar très moderne est en route et le navire à cap au 268 vers New York, il vient de passer le bateau phare de Nantucket.
Le sifflet de brume fonctionne toutes les 100 secondes. 1.706 personnes sont à bord.

On july 25th 1956, coming from Italy the ocean liner Andrea Doria is heading to New York.
It's a very nice and new ship, she enters service in january 1953. She has a lenght of 213m and gross tonnage of 29.000t and is sailing at an average speed of 24 knots.
She left Genoa on july 17th, and is close to the end of her crossing, fuel bunkers are quite empty and because of that the nose of the ship is very hight on the level of the sea.
Since the afternoon she is steaming at a speed of 21,3 knots because of the fog.
The very modern radars are turning and turning.
