Update on the Clelia II Incident

Posted on December 20, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


The media tends to report breaking news, often without follow-ups and analysis. Therefore, I asked a reliable source for an analysis of the Clelia II cruise ship incident I reported on a previous blog post.

“The reports were vastly overblown. Of course, we knew that already, but [it was] confirmed it today.

The Clelia II never lost engine power, and the Nat Geo Explorer was only with them for four hours. They did pass us an iridium phone, but we already had one on board.

In the end, it was simply a rough Drake crossing, and thankfully no one was injured!

Lost SS Andrea Doria Lifeboats Resurface

Lost SS Andrea Doria Lifeboats Resurface
SUNY Maritime History 102 student discovers historic maritime artifacts.

An incident off Nantucket Island, late at night on July 25, 1956, forever changed maritime laws and maritime education in America.

The collision of the New York City-bound Italian liner SS Andrea Doria with the M/V Stockholm set off a flurry of lawsuits, marine regulation reforms, and marine education upgrades that continues to this day. The collision and sinking cost 42 lives and was the cover story of Life magazine that summer.

The Andrea Doria now rests almost 300 feet beneath the waves. Hundreds of divers have attempted –and fourteen men have died –diving down to retrieve even the smallest of artifacts from this infamous wreck. However, stories persisted that at least one of the largest and most historic components of the ship, a lifeboat that saved some of the passengers that night, was salvaged, but that it has disappeared from history– until a SUNY Maritime Humanities student took up the search.

As a research project for his American Civilization 102 class, SUNY Maritime student, Midshipman Robert Ford, chose to investigate a rumor that this lifeboat might yet exist –in a backyard in suburban New Jersey.

Rob searched the Coast Guard archives, requested logbooks and incident reports, phoned, texted and emailed possible witnesses from all over America (including a college student in Pennsylvania and a waitress in New Orleans).

He got help from his fellow 102 classmates and from a number of deep-water divers who had recently explored the wreck of Andrea Doria. One of his best leads came from George, a long-haul truck driver who, as it turned out, had been the last person to actually have seen the boat.

After more than two months of researching (and within 45 minutes of his research paper deadline) Rob was sent photographic proof that he had actually discovered, not just one, but two of these historic boats. Both were hidden,–in plain sight–on a weeded lot in a small town—1700 miles from where the Doria sank

Both of the boats have fascinating stories. The smaller boat, with its hand-crank propeller, saved sixteen victims from the sinking liner. The larger one, lifeboat #13, carried the Doria’s second mate and twenty-seven passengers to safety… then it disappeared from all memory. But, one morning, in late July 1981, twenty-five years later–almost to the day–the Doria’s lost lifeboat #13 suddenly re-appeared. Washed onto a beach in New York City. Where was this vessel for all these years? How (and why) did it finally arrive at its destination– exactly twenty five years late?

Midshipmen Ford speaking at the 9th Annual Maritime History Conference
This fall, Midshipman Ford was invited to speak at the 9th Maritime History Conference in Baltimore to share the story of his discovery with museum directors, maritime historians, and authors from all over the United States.

Rob hopes to find the funding to restore the smaller lifeboat and to create a museum exhibit to tell the story of the collision and sinking of the Andrea Doria and how this incident still affects our maritime history, as well as our education and training at SUNY Maritime College.

People still love books

Posted on December 15, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


People still love books!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just saw these quotes yesterday. They reveal how much people still love reading books:

“It is hard to come up with Christmas gifts for people who already seem to have everything. Books can be good gifts for such people.” – Thomas Sowell, economist and political commentator

John’s comment: Books do make great gifts. No matter how strange the people are you want to give presents to, there will be at least one book – and more likely hundreds of books – that would suit them to a tee.

“I always have about 10 books at home and in the office I am working on. I love to read and I still love curling up with a book, but I hope someone gives me an iPad or Kindle for Christmas so I can have my books everywhere.” – Martha Zoller, radio talk show host

John’s comment: Note how book lovers (and buyers) are voting with their hands and eyes for ebooks as well as printed books

I still have a bunch of my childhood books. I don’t understand a house that doesn’t have books.”

John’s comment: I don’t understand a house without books either. In fact, I love to walk into a house that has walls and walls of books. Makes me feel absolutely at home.

Two Killed When Rogue Wave Hits Louis Majesty Cruise Ship in the Mediterranean

NB. This event happened nearly 9 months ago. Nevertheless, it bears questioning: how can this disaster be prevented? We’ll leave this for marine engineers and naval architects to answer.

Cruise ship Clelia II encouters fierce swells

Posted on December 13, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


This time, the Clelia II sailing off the coast of Antartica with 160 passengers on board. It was stranded for a while as it lost one engine power and downed communications. Could this have been prevented?

Watch this video excerpt and read the article below from USA Today for details:

Passenger on storm-tossed cruise ship describes ‘terrifying’ ordeal

By Gene Sloan, USA TODAY

The 100-passenger Clelia II struggles in high seas in the Drake Passage on Dec. 7, 2010.
CAPTION

The cruise ship damaged by massive waves this week while returning from Antarctica has made it back to its home port of Ushuaia, Argentina, and first-hand accounts describing a “terrifying” ordeal have begun to emerge.

One of the 88 passengers on board the storm-tossed Clelia II, Frank Dougherty, tells the Philadelphia Daily News today he thought he was going to die as the ship fought through monster waves in the Drake Passage that reached 30 to 40 feet high.

“I thought this was it,” Dougherty, a former Daily News writer, told the news outlet in a phone call from Ushuaia. “I never came so close to cashing it in.”

One huge wave smashed a railing into the ship’s bridge, knocking out all communication, including radar, Dougherty tells the Daily News. The vessel was “violently shaking and twisting,” he says, noting the wind was gusting up to 100 miles per hour.

Dougherty tells the news outlet he began imagining that if the ship went down, “they’d never find the bodies. You couldn’t even think about putting out lifeboats in that sea.”

The Clelia II reached Ushuaia late Thursday — a day and a half behind schedule.

In a statement, the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators says a large wave that broke the ship’s starboard bridge window and doused electrical circuitry was the cause of widely reported propulsion problems on the ship (the video above, filmed by another expedition ship in the area and distributed by the Associated Press, shows the Clelia II struggling with high seas during the incident).

“This caused a temporary loss of communications and affected engine performance,” the statement says. “Both engines remained operational and speed was reduced.”

The association says no passengers on the the ship were injured during the incident, although a bridge officer knocked down by the wave that broke through the bridge window sustained minor injuries

Holiday Gift Giving Idea

Posted on December 3, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


I don’t usually promote myself on this blog, but for the holidays, I will make this exception for those who may be interested.

Award Winning Publications in print and audio CD:

Alive on the Andrea Doria! The Greatest Sea Rescue in History is available in print, audio CD, and in Italian. The latter may be obtained from the author only.

You may order your copies directly from Pierette’s store:
http://www.pierettesimpson.com/store/
You’ll also find information on obtaining discount prices and personal dedications.

Summary:
Alive on the Andrea Doria! The Greatest Sea Rescue in History
By Pierette Domenica Simpson
On July 25, 1956, the catastrophic ramming of the Stockholm into Italy’s crown jewel, the luxury liner Andrea Doria, sent shock waves around the world. Eyewitness survivor, Piera Domenica Burzio, exposes the mysterious and controversial calamity that occurred while trying to reach the New World to meet her mother.

The author/survivor sensitively and scientifically recreates the details of her shipwreck—which could have been another Titanic. Thanks to the vivid survivor recollections and previously unveiled scientific data from Italy and the U.S., the author becomes the first shipwreck survivor in history to write a complete account of her ship’s demise. The result is a definitive scientific conclusion that debunks all previous theories.

Praise:
I believe that her book, Alive on the Andrea Doria! The Greatest Sea Recue in History belongs on the shelves of every library – public, academic, and high school. — Sally Garner Reed, Executive Director ALTAFF, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

“Finally, a riveting first-hand account of the sinking of the Andrea Doria. Pierette Simpson’s heartfelt, engaging prose and her insight make the reader marvel at the depth of her research and her knack for expressing human emotion with the written word. A real pleasure to read!” —Kevin McMurray: diver, New York Times journalist, author of Dark Descent and Deep Descent

“Befitting the fiftieth anniversary of the collision, this book details with
irrefutable scientific evidence what caused the tragedy, challenging all
previous theories. This thrilling tale of survival and intrigue follows the
unjust fate of Captain Calamai so that we realize how the twisted bow
of the damaged Stockholm symbolizes the twist of fate that befell Calamai
and the Italian maritime industry. Alive on the Andrea Doria! will set the
historical record straight at last. —Germaine Strobel, Andrea Doria survivor

Praise for the Audio CD Book:
Pierette’s poignant narration of a nine-year-old girl surviving a catastrophe is even more compelling than reading her words on the pages of her book– and that’s saying a lot! Her expressive voice invokes vivid memories of my personal experience on that terrible night. I’m honored to be included in her books.
—Mike Stoller, of Leiber & Stoller, legendary songwriters, co-author of the book, Hound Dog

I have listened to the audio book with great admiration. It is very difficult for a survivor of a ship sinking to recount that experience later in life—whether in the printed word or orally. Pierette is to be congratulated for recounting not only her experience but, extraordinarily, that of other survivors. The listener is treated to words done in the native tongue of the survivor

The CD was a delight to listen to. I felt transported back in time onto the Andrea Doria. Pierette Simpson’s use of actual survivor voices made the stories more believable than reading them in print. I especially enjoyed the author’s replication of her childhood voice, and that of her grandmother’s in broken English, complete with an Italian accent. It authenticated the journey back to the past.—Marjorie Nanian, attorney and assistant professor of political science, Schoolcraft College, MI

The official said that drilling would remain under a moratorium for those areas for at least the next five years, until stronger safety and environmental standards are in place. Drilling will continue in the central and western Gulf of Mexico, although under a set of new safeguards put in place since the deadly BP explosion and oil spill in April.

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced the expansion of drilling in March, just weeks before the BP accident, as part of a political plan to encourage more domestic oil production in exchange for limits on carbon emissions. The eastern Gulf and the Atlantic seaboard had been off-limits to oil companies for years because of congressional opposition.
