So I am NOT the only shipwreck buff!

I’ve scoured books about maritime disasters and am very familiar with the Sultana explosion and fire. But one of my favorites (besides Titanic, which has been Cameron’d to death) is the Andrea Doria/Stockholm collision.

I also followed intently the recent story of the Costa Concordia, including her parbuckling resurrection and reclamation.

I just love big ships.

The Stockholm is still in service.

My study favorites are The Empress of Ireland and Storstad collision on the St. Lawrence River and the disappearance of the Waratah.
