...traditional in marine insurance, the policy (with an annual premium of $330,000) had been spread among 120 syndicates in the U.S. and Britain, which will now pay off to Union Oil, the regular charterer of the ship and the beneficiary of the policy. Not since the Andrea Doria sank in 1956, with a loss of $16 million, have marine underwriters faced such a high claim...
...reparations, had only one ship in its merchant marine. Then, in the early '50s, it produced a few of its own ships, purchased some from the Russians, raised and repaired sunken vessels, even bought the Swedish American Line's Stockholm after she rammed and sank the Andrea Doria in 1956. Many of the VEB's early routes were propaganda-oriented, and often East German ships returned home ideologically full but physically empty. Not until 1962 did the company turn all that enterprise toward pure profitmaking. In that year, Rumanian-born Eduard Zimmermann, now 38, who rose from...
...history of maritime safety laws is a catalogue of disasters. The first international code came in 1914, two years after the sinking of the Titanic; the latest in 1960, four years after the loss of the Andrea Doria. The U.S., which has the world's most stringent regulations, adopted them only after the Morro Castle burned and sank off New Jersey in 1934. As a sequel to the fiery death this month of the cruise shipYarmouth Castle, shipowners may well be forced to comply with more meaningful safety standards...

Though he has been through Rome, where Pope Innocent X's portrait hangs in the Palazzo Doria-Pamphili, Bacon has never gone to see it. The gum-baring shriek that gapes out of so many of his portraits is copied from a still from Sergei Eisenstein's film of 1925, The Battleship Potemkin, in which a horrified nurse is shot point-blank through her pince...
Healthy, wealthy, submersible Department Store Scion Peter R. Gimbel, 35, is wont to prowl around the ocean floor (he dived to the sunken Andrea Doria in 1956, again in 1957) when he is not busy with his career as an investment banker. Now rising above all that, young Gimbel joined a National Geographic Society expedition bound for the Peruvian Andes, early next month will parachute into the remote upper reaches (9,000-14,000 ft.) of the Vilcabamba range-an unmapped area never penetrated by outsiders and considered a possible site of early Inca civilization. Accompanying Gimbel on the three...
