The Andrea Doria became one of the most famous shipwrecks of the 20th century when it collided with the Stockholm on a foggy July night in 1956 off the coast of Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Today we look at the bizarre and inspiring story of Linda Morgan, the 14-year-old girl who miraculously survived the Andrea Doria sinking after being scooped out of her bed by the very ship that sliced through the Andrea Doria’s hull. What's more, her rescuer aboard the Stockholm suddenly vanished after visiting her in the hospital.
