Wow, I guess I did hear about that.
However, since it took so long I’m wondering if many people, especially staff, might’ve taken stuff with them. OTOH, they may have been strictly under emergency evac and not been allowed.
There were a lot fewer fatalities in the Doria/Stockholm incident than Titanic, and you’re right that the Doria took much longer to sink. But I doubt many passengers had the presence of mind to grab souvenirs as they abandoned the crippled vessel.
The time between the collision and the final plunge must have been heart-wrenching. She was such a beautiful ship, and to watch her slowly capsize to her grave would have been almost obscene.
The wreck is almost totally collapsed now.
But at least she was claimed by the sea, instead of suffering the even more ignominious fate of being broken for scrap like the Costa Concordia. That IS obscene.
