That would make a GREAT dive
they don't expect it to sink at all...it's listing with the rudder and props high and dry but still watertight

Of course, I didn't discover that until AFTER I had a career and responsibilities
I don't think anyone ever made it in, and it's probably too deteriorated/collapsed now - but allegedly there were several VERY rare automobiles including a one-of-a-kind prototype on the Andrea Doria's car deck

April23 said:Oh that's gotta be neat... and cold.
ChikkenNoodul said:The Doria gets bashed a LOT by winter storms I understand, it's ~240 ft to the sand there so it's plenty cold.
From Gary Gentile's most recent book, it sounds like all of the upper decks have collapsed, and the ship is starting to droop in the middle (It's laying on it's side).
I'll have to see if I can find where I saw what the car actually was...
ChikkenNoodul said:You'd be surprised, one of the hurricanes last year actually righted the Spiegel Grove - a 510ft ship, which was previously laying on it's starboard side in ~135ft of water
