  • Andrea Doria/Stockholm Collision
    An Objective Forensic Analysis of the Collision Between Stockholm and Andrea Doria By Samuel Halpern FOREWORD Mr. Halpern has done an excellent job of documenting the causes of the Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision. By careful analysis of the course recorder traces, Mr. Halpern points out the role that the helmsman of the Stockholm played in the collision. The analysis of the course recorder traces seems to lay to rest the theory that the wrong radar range scale was used by the 3rd Mate of the Stockholm just prior to the collision. In addition, the collision dynamics calculations and “what if” scenarios were also quite interesting in that they illustrate for the reader what might have been. Mr. Halpern’s list of contributing factors spell out the major causes of the collision. All in all, this is a very well researched paper that should be part of any Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision buff’s reading on the subject. Capt. Les Eadie Assistant Professor of Marine Transportation Operations Maine Maritime Academy Castine, Maine INTRODUCTION On the night of July 25, 1956 the eastbound Swedish passenger liner Stockholm collided with the westbound Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria in what was to be described as the world’s first major radar assisted collision at sea. The collision happened approximately 180 nautical miles east of the Ambrose Lightship at 11:11 p.m. local time. The Andrea Doria was struck just aft and below the starboard bridge wing and almost immediately took on a severe list of almost 20 degrees to starboard leaving half of her lifeboats unusable.
