John looks for souvenirs. |

Bill Cleary is happy with his find of an unopened bottle of Italian liqueur, and a brass sign with Italian writing. Unfortunately, no one on board (not even Ferrali, Trapani, Gianni, Scarpa, etc.) could read Italian, so we didn't know what it said!

Mikey "Mighty Mouse" Trapani gears up to go pull the hook at the end of our trip. |

I hope you have enjoyed these 2002 Andrea Doria pictures as much as I enjoyed doing the real thing! |
