Meet The Ship That Sank The 'Unsinkable': The Wild Story of The Atoria

In this episode of Travel Detective unveils the extraordinary 72-year saga of the oldest operating cruise ship, the Atoria (originally the Stockholm). Its history is dramatically linked to the infamous 1956 collision with the "unsinkable" Andrea Doria, which it rammed, causing one of history’s largest civilian maritime rescues and creating the "miracle girl" survivor. The ship survived, was rebuilt, sailed for East Germany, housed refugees, and continues to cruise, a true maritime survivor.
