In Search of Andrea Doria Survivors

Posted on May 11, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


I’m posting this letter sent to survivors, hoping that someone will read it and help me locate other Andrea Doria survivors. I’m thanking you in advance for any assistance.

I am taking on the initiative to collect as many of your stories as possible. Your voices serve as testimony to the miracles of the human condition. They are a message to future generations. Here some the ways in which they may be shared:  newsletters, blogs, radio, TV, articles, podcasts, website posting, and hopefully a movie.  For now, I am simply collecting as much data as I can. Each month, you’ll receive a newsletter with at least one featured survivor.  Features will be published based on the order I receive your information. You’ll assist me greatly by returning the questionnaire attached by the end of June.

Finally, if you should happen to have contact information for other survivors and/or families of the Andrea Doria’s fatalities, would you kindly send it along to me? Thank you.

Many blessings and gratitude for your participation,

The Andrea Doria’s Endless Curious Connections

Posted on April 30, 2010 by Pierette Simpson

A couple of days ago I received an unexpected phone call. The elderly gentleman identified himself as Emil Ravetto, whose origins are from the Piemonte, the Italian province where I was born. He explained that he was calling from Somers, a city one hour north of New York City.

I asked Mr. Ravetto how he heard about me. “A friend of mine lives in Strambino, a small town in the Piemonte. He wrote to tell me about your book in Italian.” I was amazed to hear this because Strambino is only a few kilometers from my extremely small town (100 inhabitants) of Pranzalito. It seemed ironic that I would find out about someone living close by in Italy via a person living across the ocean.

As we chatted about his friend who had served as a top officer in Afghanistan, Emil surprised me with one of the Andrea Doria’s endless curious connections. “My mother was a designer for Bergdorf Goodman on Fifth Avenue. Her friend Emilia Glauda, a fellow designer, survived the Andrea Doria accident.”

Of course, I wanted to know more, but Mr. Ravetto explained that the survivor had passed away in Italy many years ago.

Reflecting on Earth Day

Posted on April 26, 2010 by Pierette Simpson


Between the headline “Burning Oil Rig Sinks in Gulf of Mexico” and now Carnival’s cruise ship encountering a large buoy off the Yucatan Peninsula, the Gulf is contributed ominous news on the observance of Earth Day. The following article appeared on AolNews.com, Thursday, April 22.

Cruise Passengers Injured in Ship-Tip Incident

Michelle Ruiz Contributor

AOL News

(April 22) — Sixty passengers aboard a Carnival cruise ship sustained minor injuries when the boat leaned suddenly as it dodged a large buoy submerged in the waters off Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

The Carnival Ecstasy returned to its port in Galveston, Texas, today as scheduled, following Wednesday’s incident, Carnival said in a statement. While none of the passengers required hospitalization, one vacationer, Patrice Edwards, described the boat-tipping as jarring.

“We go to sleep, the next thing we know, [my husband] rolled and hit the floor, I rolled and hit the floor — the whole boat is going to the side,” she told Houston’s KHOU-TV. “Everything you can hear, everybody’s cabin is just falling and crashing to the floor.”

Sixty passengers on the Carnival cruise ship Ecstasy were injured Wednesday when the vessel turned to avoid a large buoy in the waters off Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Passengers were treated in the ship’s infirmary.
Carnival said the ship was forced to perform a maneuver to avoid the large buoy that was “adrift and mostly submerged, thereby preventing it from being detected by the ship’s radar.” According to Carnival, the ship listed 12 degrees to the starboard side. Edwards said many passengers on the final leg of the five-day cruise panicked.

“I look out the door and everyone is running back to their rooms to get their life rafts. I mean the whole boat just shifted,” Edwards said. “Everyone had their life rafts, and that’s when they were running with people on stretchers.”

Passengers were treated at the ship’s infirmary, and the U.S. Coast Guard was notified of the incident.

Carnival issued a statement, saying: “Carnival sincerely apologizes for the distress and discomfort this occurrence has caused our guests. The safety, comfort and care of our guests and crew is our top priority.”

 N.B.

As of today, the oil rig in the Gulf continues to burn and pollute the waters while 11 workers remain missing. I trust that any future legislation regarding oil drilling will take this incident into consideration.

 Fortunately, the Carnival Cruise incident had insignificant consequences

The Loss of Andrea Doria

A Marine Forensic Analysis

by

William H. Garzke, Jr. and Pierette Domenica Simpson

ABSTRACT            The Andrea Doria shipwreck of 1956 is still of interest to naval architects and historians. It pertains to the most catastrophic and the most recent collision in history between two ocean liners. One of the most controversial aspects of the event involves the sinking of the Italian luxury liner. This report’s main goal is to delve into the reasons for the sinking, which is surprisingly still controversial and debated. A  New York Times article published only last year, called “From Death Ship to Cruise Ship”—referring to the Stockholm—attracted an editorial response from a Swedish co-author of a book on the collision. Mr. Bruce Paulsen wrote: “…the ship never should have sunk; she did so because of a substantial design defect.”

After much research done by author-survivor Pierette Simpson, who was provided with substantial data from findings of marine experts in both Italy and the United States that included members of Panel SD-7, she conducted her own inquiry, along with dialogue with divers and crewmembers of the Andrea Doria. This paper presents definitive conclusions on the sinking based on information from Ms. Simpson and Italian naval architects familiar with the ship’s design as well as insights on a marine forensics investigation by co-author and Chairman of Panel SD-7 William Garzke.

——————————————————————————–

Our technical paper is being published in the Journal of Ship Production. Here’s the description I found on their website.

          
“Original and timely technical papers addressing problems of shipyard techniques and production of merchant and naval ships appear in this quarterly publication. Since its inception, the Journal of Ship Production has been a forum for peer-reviewed, professionally edited papers from academic and industry sources. As such, it has influenced the worldwide development of ship production engineering as fully qualified professional discipline. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to ship professionals, including written discussions and author’s closures.”

The Journal is published by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) http://www.sname.org/SNAME/SNAME/Publications/JournalofShipProduction/Default.aspx

Leaving a Legacy of Survival

Posted on April 19, 2010 by Pierette Simpson

Yesterday, April 18, I received this touching note:

 “In your book, Alive on the Andrea Doria, you wrote about my great grandmother! Celestina Caputo. I would like to say Thank you and that wishes are to you. Celeste passed away about 2 years ago.

I did not know Sarah, but since she read about her great-grandmother in my book, she knew about me. I would assume that she tracked me down through my website and found my e-mail address. As Sarah mentions in her subsequent note to me, there are probably no coincidences. Since last week, when I had a book marketing consultation, I had planned to continue writing legacies of Andrea Doria survivors. In fact, I was resolute in interviewing all of them, or their families  in order to document their survival experiences. Why? What is more important in our lifetimes than ‘survival’? Perhaps only one thing: handing down stories of survival through the generations. Sarah’s explanation of knowing her great-grandmother’s personal struggle teaches us why.

She gave me many articles and pictures of the sinking. I was also interested in the Titanic as well, and on the other half of my family there is some information in there about the Titanic too. When my nana used to tell me how she survived by being in the theatre when her cabin got crushed, it shows that there can be more than a coincidence. Without her being away from her cabin, all of our family probably wouldn’t be where it would be now. It taught me not only to love my family more, because you never know what is going to happen to them, but that you can get through things with people supporting you, even if you’re on your own.”–Sarah Marie Dooley

I asked Sarah if I could publish her note to; she said it would be an honor.  I am honored to know Sarah—a young lady who is wise beyond her years.

Book Review

Posted on April 5, 2010 by Pierette Simpson

Peter Wright, author of Triumphs and Tragedies, is on tour with his book this week and Writers in the Sky* is hosting him with the following book review:

Peter Wright has not only lived a compelling life filled with exciting tales to tell, he is a natural-born storyteller. In Triumphs and Tragedies, Wright lays out a banquet of fascinating stories, thoughtfully told. Each story is one to be savored.

Wright possesses the gift of a spellbinding voice, and the times that he evokes- Great Britain in World War II, sailing the seas before the advent of modern technology, an English boys’ boarding school-are vivid and powerful.

Those who sail or simply love the sea shouldn’t waste any time; you’ll fall in love with this book. Those who don’t will find themselves drawn in to an unexpected love affair with the maritime world-though Wright’s accounts are far from idealized or romanticized. The characters, though often glimpsed only briefly, are rendered so three-dimensionally you’ll start to think they’re members of your family whom you had somehow forgotten.

Anyone who loves a good true yarn, expertly conjured, will feel rewarded by Peter Wright’s Triumphs and Tragedies. Published by iUniverse, the publication contains some copy errors, but these detract little from Wright’s intriguingly raw yet polished and captivating work.

Celeste White
Editor-in-Chief/Reviewer
The Hot Air Quarterly

Peter Wright was born in Wallasey, England in 1926, eight years after the end of World War I, a conflict which left a profound impression on him, not only because his Uncle Tom had been killed during the last offensive, but because of the appalling slaughter that he, even at an early age, considered senseless.

.

After six years at a Dominican boarding school for boys, Blackfriars, where his mother hoped he would enter the Catholic priesthood, he went to sea as a deck apprentice with Elder Dempster Lines of Liverpool. Three years after gaining his Masters certificate, he immigrated to the United States where he worked as Port Captain, Stevedore Superintendent and Marine Surveyor.

His social drinking at sea eventually turned into addictive drinking after his arrival in the U.S. It went ignored for several years, but loss of jobs and family made it clear that he was on the road to self-destruction. Frequent visits to hospital and Recovery Clinics and a deep-seated belief in his own spirituality convinced him that Alcoholics Anonymous was his only salvation. And that is where he got sober.

He retired in 1991 and lives in Northern California.
