In 1964, the Italian shipping company Lauro Lines acquired the Dutch vessel, which it renamed Achille Lauro. What looks like a good deal turns out to be a curse on society…
A series of incidents really tarnished the ship’s reputation: collisions, fires and financial problems!
In 1985, Achille Lauro even became the site of a hostage crisis organized by Palestinian terrorists. This tragedy resulted in the death of a disabled American passenger.
The icing on the cake: in 1994, the Achille Lauro sank off the coast of Somalia as a result of a fire in the engine room, thereby confirming its reputation as a “damned liner”…
For Joslan F. Keller, author and speaker on the unexplained, this tragic story is the subject of this episode of the Mysteries and the Unexplained podcast!
