Special Tony Tuesday: Meet Andrea Doria Shipwreck Survivor Julia Hansen

Julia Headshot 1

Join us for a remarkable "Tony Tuesday" as we welcome Julia Hansen, a survivor of the Andrea Doria shipwreck. Julia and her mother were aboard the Italian ocean liner when it collided with the MS Stockholm off the coast of Nantucket — one of the most infamous maritime disasters of the 20th century.

Julia will share her memories of that harrowing night and the dramatic rescue that brought her safely aboard the Île de France.

This program is included with the price of regular museum admission. No registration required.
