How perfect of line, after just having digested a mega celebrity monstrocity!

Yes phantom53, I very well know that (!) but I'm talking here about the following: that of ANDREA DORIA the last (I repeat: the last) captured picture was shot in 1956 (when she sunk on the Atlantic; 26th July,1956)...therefore, not even to mention the year of 1966 when this picture of CRISTOFORO COLOMBO was captured!

Jadran, If you copy the name ANDREA DORIA, and paste it in the ship photo search box, press search and a few pics will appear for you to see

Very unfortunate so to be, we can never-ever see the sister ANDREA DORIA pictured in a photo of 1966 (sad to say,sunk exactly 10 years before 1966!).

How nice it is to be reminded of the skill of shipbuilders of the past.
