Presented by Dr. William Hanna
On the night of July 25, 1956, a collision between the ocean liners SS Andrea Doria and MS Stockholm killed 51 people and prompted one of the largest civilian maritime rescues in history, off the Nantucket coastline.
Dr. William F. Hanna is a well-known local professor and author of a number of books including “History of Taunton”. A visiting lecturer around New England, he received his Ph.D. in history from Boston College in 1980, his master’s degree from Bridgewater State University in 1973 and his bachelor’s degree in political science from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth in 1969. He taught history at Taunton High School for 31 years and was social studies curriculum supervisor for 12 years. Hanna travels throughout New England lecturing on a variety of historical topics.
