I am glad to have read your story as it gives me a more personal account to what happened to this ship.
I am sitting here at my desk with tears in my eyes reading your story but it is the pictures that sadden me.
I have never seen, been on or have any real affilliation with the Angelina Lauro except she was in Auckland harbour around September 1970 and my mother and grandmother were trying to pick a name for me a new born child.
Mum loved the name on the cruise ship docked in Auckland and so that became my name - Angelina Lauro.
I have never known anything about this ship and thanks to the internet I am now more informed about my name sake.
I use to think my name was stupid and wished for a more common name like Debbie,Michelle or Julie like most other kids I went to school with as Angelina was not common in Auckland but as I became an adult I came to realise what a pretty name I was given.
