	PBS Online - Lost Liners - Andrea
		The 697-foot-long Andrea Doria, carrying a nearly full complement of 1,706 passengers and crew, was nearing the end of a mostly sunny and uneventful nine-day voyage from Genoa to New York.
		On board the Andrea Doria, such an error might have been caught, had someone bothered to plot the oncoming ship's course instead of relying on an eyeball estimate from the radar screen, but on the Italian Line such calculations were not routine practice.
		In the end, the remarkable rescue of all of the Andrea Doria's passengers not killed as a result of the initial collision owed more to good luck than to the leadership of her captain or the comportment of her crew: though many behaved admirably and some heroically, many others did not.
