Fifty-two years after her sinking, I regret to inform the world, the luxury liner, and dear friend of us all, Andrea Doria has claimed anoher life.

I don’t have all of the details right now, but will keep the site updated when I find any information.  It appears a man by the name of Terry DeWolf did not surface yesterday morning after a dive to the wreck, and after a distress call to US Coast Guard in Southeastern New England, a search consisting of 2 Jayhawk helicopters, and the Coast Guard Cutter “Hammerhead” took chase.

The body was recovered by fellow divers aboard the dive vessel “John Jack” on a subsequant dive, and with assistance of the Coast Guard was helped aboard.  The John Jack returned to port at approximately 08:30 Thursday July 31st and turned the body over to the East Hampton Police.

This is the 15th such death while diving the Doria, and hopefully the last.  As mentioned, I will try to keep everyone updated as I receive any information.  Until then, please take a moment to reflect on the precious life that was lost, and remember that even with todays technology, dive equipment, and skill, the Atlantic takes what she will.
