The Andria Doria collided with the Stockhome in dense fog just south of Nantucket.
It’s in my book, astonishing tales from the sea

The Andria Doria collided with the...

I was reading a formal accident report a few months back and it was regarding boats... like large boats on the Great Lakes. Over and over again the report kept using the word allision... and I thought it was a typo as I kept seeing the female name Allison.

I then looked up the word allision, and I learned a new term that day.

It’s Andrea Doria, not Andria Doria.

Just for the record ;)

That collision was in 1956. And the Stockholme is still sailing today(now named MV Azores).
