On the 50th anniversary of the tragic collision between
two ocean liners, survivor and author Pierette Domenica
Simpson presents a definitive work on this historical event.
As an eyewitness of the Andrea Doria-Stockholm calamity,
the author captivates her audience with gripping tales of
terror and courage. As an investigative author, she cracks
open a cold case that lay buried in the coffers of injustice
for half a century.
ALIVE ON THE ANDREA DORIA! portrays a mystifying event that could have been another Titanic. Like the Titanic story, it reads as a fast-paced, suspense-packed tale with many story lines: history and mystery, politics and prejudice, disaster and deliverance, science and silence. A work of historical significance!

Welcome! Benvenuti! Bienvenue! Bienvenidos! Wilkommen!
Welcome to my LIFE BOAT, the vessel in which we will stream merrily together toward transcending life’s upheavals: moving, immigration, separation, death, illness, bankruptcy, or even a shipwreck.
The flow of life waits for no one; so why not take along the
experiences of our fellow man—those that teach us to
courageously ride the tides. Alive on the Andrea Doria!
The Greatest Sea Rescue in History is a microcosm of
life: joy,delusion, disaster, inspiration, survival, success,
transcendence, and following one’s heart. In reading the
survivor recollections, we will derive strength, and in
reading the scientific revelations, we will seek justice.
Whether life chooses to challenge us, or we choose to challenge ourselves,
Eleanor Roosevelt inspires us with her wisdom:

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”
~Eleanor Roosevelt
