one of three admirals commanding the Catholic forces at Lepanto was Andrea Doria.

I've always wondered, but never bothered to look up, for whom the famously ill-fated passenger liner was named. Now I know. Hurrah for FR!

Me too. :-)

RICARDI: Yes, but, you see - Mister Eldridge is an Andrea Doria survivor. And, in light of the terrible suffering that he's already been through, we've decided to give it to him.

GEORGE: (Depressed) Well,.. the Andrea Doria.. that was quite a fire. (Moves to the door, leaving)

RICARDI: (Correcting) Shipwreck.

GEORGE: I remember..
