“A gripping true story of treasure hunting and tragedy on theDoria, the world’s most dangerous shipwreck.”—Daily News
“Well researched, well interviewed, and written without frills. . . . Drama is built in.”—National Geographic Adventure
On July 25, 1956, the luxury Italian ocean liner Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm near Nantucket, Massachusetts. Half a century later the wreck of the Andrea Doria is still claiming lives. Divers consider it to be the Everest of diving. At 225 feet below the surface, ordinary air becomes toxic, and divers without sufficient protection suffer nitrogen narcosis, “the rapture of the deep” as they seek the ultimate symbol of deep-sea diving accomplishments: china teacups and plates from the Andrea Doria.
Fatal Depth follows a scuba diving charter boat, theSeeker, over the fateful summers of 1987 and 1988 as five of its customers die, all while exploring the fabled wreck. Based on Joe Haberstroh’s award-winning series of articles that appeared inNewsday, it tells the story of the ship that was the pride of the Italian fleet, how it sank, and the gripping personal stories of the men who live or die for a teacup from its remains.
