A short lesson on appreciating ancient ship construction

Posted on September 7, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


I received this unique lesson on  the first ships ever built from hydrodynamicist (one  who studies wave action) Sean Kery.  It’s fascinating,  even for a non-naval architect!

I recently finished a book called Uncorking the past that traces the invention of beer,wine and mead back to about 6000 BC if I remember right, and includes wrecks much older than this one.   There are a number of Books by Dr. George Gass and the late J.Richard Steffy that discuss dozens of these really ancient amphora wrecks and give a pretty good analysis of how the ships were constructed at that time.     I looked on alibris or amazon for used books on underwater archaeology and for less than 20 bucks bought 7 books.   The postage was actually about 5 bucks more than the cost of the books which range from coffee table books with lots of pretty pix to graduate school text books on the subject.

We are used to thinking about building wooden boats or ships by laying a keel, then adding lots of ribs and other framework then finally the planking.    Typically tarred rope called oakum is then forced between the plank edges to prevent leaks.

The oldest ships started with the keel then the planks were joined edge to edge using mortise and tendon joints that were pegged to hold them in place.   When the wood got wet, the planks swelled and sealed all the seams without oakum.   What little interior framework these old ships had was only added after the ship was completely built.   Several of those that were found sunk were an estimated 80 to 100 years from being new at the time of their sinking.   16th through 19th century wooden ships typically required extensive rebuilding every 10 years to keep them from rotting away.   The Mortise and tendon building method is very labor intensive and time consuming if you have to cut all those deep blind rabbets by hand, but it results in a much longer lasting ship.    Lastly one of the really ancient shipwrecks was found with the whole lower hull covered with tacked and soldered lead plates, dating from around 100AD.   The use of metal (copper) plates to stop the toredo worms (actually a weird type of clam) from eating tunnels through the wood, did not get reinvented until the 18th century.

History is such a weird and amazing place, It’s a big part of what lured me into studying shipwrecks in the first place

Jerry Leiber of pop music duo Leiber and Stoller dies at 78

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


You’re probably wondering why I’m writing about  pop music.  How does this relate to survival on our seas, you ask?  Jerry Leiber’s song writing partner is Mike Stoller, survivor of the Andrea Doria collision.   In fact,  when Stoller arrived  as a battered survivor at a New York pier,  Leiber  delivered him great news. The  famous dialogue  has been published many times,  including  the Leiber-Stoller autobiography, “Hound Dog” and in my book, “Alive on the Andrea Doria”

Another Andrea Doria Coincidence

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


This excerpt  is from an e-mail I received  this summer.   No matter where I go, someone shares another Andrea Doria coincidence with me.  This one has a little different twist.

As you recall, when Rosalie and I met you at the Sterling Heights Rotary International Thursday Luncheon at Jovan’s Steak House. My parents were born in Casteltermini, Sicily, but after getting married in 1944 they went to work in the coal mines at Pola and Fiume, in Istria, Italian Dalmatia. Because of the war had started they had to immigrate back to Italy.  I was born in Cesena (Forli’), Emilia Romagna, in 1946. I stated that My dad, Francesco and my mother, Concetta and I came to the States on a TWA Flight from Rome in May 1956. We stopped in Dublin, Ireland, Gander, Newfoundland, Canada and finally New York.  The trip took 22 hours. My mother had been deadly afraid of aeroplanes and she had wanted to make the journey on the Andrea Doria.
Two trunks of all our belongings and treasured possessions which willl never be replaced  were on the Andrea Doria. My parents received the funds [reimbursement] from the Shipping Company.  My parents started life here in Detroit by going to live on the lower East Side Italian Section called.

Letter from a heartbroken father

Posted on August 18, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


Although this was sent as a comment to my post, I feel it’s important that it not be missed. It teaches us to live life to the fullest and count our blessings each day. Michael’s father is able to find some consolation in knowing his son had a great life, dying while doing what he loved.

Mike LaPrade was 27, our oldest son. It’s a heartbreak like no other. #2 son, Matt, 25 is an army paratrooper, soon to be in law school. #3 son, Brandon, 24, is a medical student. #4 son, Zachary, 20, is a college student at Oregon. Alex was the love of his life and I’m sure they would marry. Of the 4 boys, Mike was the biggest, most dominant, most outgoing and friendly. A Michael LaPrade quote, “I like everyone”. And everyone liked him. Mike was an excellent athlete , and had more friends than anyone I ever heard of. (1045 facebook friends!?). He was quite a good athlete and a big guy: football, hockey and lacrosse in high school. He took each sport as far as he could, with weight training, camps etc until he knew he couldn’t get any better. In college, Bentley in Boston, he played every football game all 4 years, despite 3 knee operations. We (his parents), never missed a game, despite the 3000mile trip

. He began diving at age 15 and never looked back. His certifications include lots of trimix, deep dive, wreck training, more certification cards that I can remember. He loved doing deep wreck dives with his west coast technical dives friends than anything. I believe my son Mike had fun every day of his life. An indifferent student, he never wasted time studing if something more exciting was possible. He would make his living with his personality, working sales in his uncle’s toy import business. He loved it. Every dollar spent on scuba gear and adventures. Once he had the skills , I suppose diving the Andrea Doria was inevitable. We spoke of it several times, and I didn’t like it at all. It really bothered me because of horrrible risks. But Mike was 27, a man on his own, not his 20 yo bro. Our family is struggling with this heartbreak. We are consoled to a degree because Mike had a great life, full of fun and adventure. He died doing what he loved best, deep wreck diving. 500 people attended his funeral in Phoenix, including diving friends from the west coast, football friends from Boston, a friend from China and a friend from London(Mike saved him from a few “scrapes” in college).

If there were an Andrea Doria movie

Posted on August 8, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


Recently, I met a world renowned opera singer, Francesco
Demuro, and his lovely wife.  He did a performance in  Detroit all the way from
Italy,  although he is Sardinian in heritage ( Sardinia was once a
province of Italy).  When I told him about my book on the Andrea Doria and
promised him a copy,  he began singing in Sardinian  dialect a song of
admiration for the Andrea Doria.  He said everyone  is familiar with it

I asked  a friend to record it and he did.  I asked Francesco  if he would

I was thrilled!  Francesco has  performed at La Scala of  Milan  and the
Metropolitan opera of New York.  Here is an interview with him on
YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXKR_6kyEbM

If there were to be a movie on the  Andrea Doria,  I now have  several  renowned contributors in place:

  • a prize-winning  jewelry  designer of Hollywood stars (who is currently now in Italy exhibiting in museums),  we have
  • legendary songwriter of Elvis Presley,  Mike Stoller,  who is  very  excited to write the music score,
  • and now a world renowned lyric opera singer  who is willing to perform for us.
  • contact with several Andrea Doria survivors

This is all in addition to  having James Cameron’s main shipwreck
consultant/ co-author  willing to be our consultant, and John Moyer,
salvor  of the Andrea Doria who  has offered his artifacts– which
includes great works of art from the shipwreck, and  personal film footage
of recovering these artifacts.

Finally,  I have  film footage taken by a PBS  documentarian who  filled me on my first ocean cruise ( Carnival Cruise Lines)                                                                                                                                       contact with many living survivors  of the shipwreck

I think we have the makings of a movie on par or better than “Titanic”!

16th diver claimed by the Andrea Doria!

Posted on July 26, 2011 by Pierette Simpson


 

Just as my spirits were lifting from the sad Andrea Doria anniversary, I found out from diver Evelyn Dudas that “The Mont Everest of the Sea” has claimed its 16th diver! Michael LaPrade of Los Angeles was only 27 years old. What a tragedy! http://easthampton.patch.com/a?rticles/cops-investigating-div?ers-death-just-shy-of-55th-ann?iversary-of-andrea-doria-wreck
