    The SS Andrea Doria, an Italian cruise liner headed to New York, collided with the Swedish-American ship MV Stockholm near Nantucket, Massachusetts on July 25, 1956. The collision occurred because the ships failed to communicate their locations via radio and misread each other's positions on radar. An investigation found both ships were responsible: the Stockholm's officer misread the radar and Andrea Doria was going too fast in fog without following proper safety procedures. The accident led to improved ship radar and emergency training.

    SS Andrea Doria

    and
    MV Stockholm Disaster

    What happened?
    The SS Andrea Doria and MV Stockholm were two
    naval vessels which collided with one another at
    sea. The SS Andrea Doria was an Italian Cruise
    liner ship headed towards New York, and MV
    Stockholm was a Swedish-American Ship headed
    towards Europe. The incident happened near
    Nantucket Massachusetts on July 25th, 1956. It was
    a day that would change the engineering world
    indefinitely.

    Why it happened?
    It is believed that the collision occurred because both ships failed to
    communicate via radio to know each others exact location. They relied on
    their radars instead, but never really knew each others exact location. To
    avoid a collision Stockholm turned about twenty degrees to allow enough
    room for the Andrea Doria to pass by. Little did they know they were now
    closer than ever and did not notice the other ship until it was to late to
    change directions. After the crash they contacted each other to find out
    who the other ship was, and called for assistance.

    Who was responsible?


    Once a thorough investigation was done it was determined that both
    ships were responsible for causing the accident. In Stockholm an officer
    stated he misread the radar and did not calculate the distance between
    both ships correctly. He blamed the radar for being poorly designed and
    not well lit. While in the Andrea Doria the crew just simply did not have
    the proper training or equipment for this type of emergency. It is also
    said to have been going at a faster rate than it should when in fog, and it
    did not follow the rules of the sea by turning left instead of right.

    Impact
    Became one of the top ten incidents where most people were
    saved
    Captain and crew members of ship are well trained and
    prepared for these types of events
    Simulations are created to deal with this and other types of
    accidents out at sea
    Radars improved greatly with brighter and clearer screens
