But Solus, he didn't bless the SHIP.

It was the pride of the Italian Ship lines, so maybe he did bless it.   

A Titanic sized disaster was avoided though.  It's design allowed it to stay afloat for 11 hours after the collision.

The good behavior of the crew, improvements in communications and the rapid response of other ships averted a disaster similar in scale to that of Titanic in 1912. 1,660 passengers and crew were rescued and survived, while 46 people died with the ship as a consequence of the collision.

I remember reading in one of those "strange but true" columns, maybe "Ripley's", that there was one guy who went to sleep on the Andria Doria and woke up on the Stockholm.
Apparently when the bow of the Stockholm punched through the hull it took out the floor of his cabin, dumping him on the other ships deck where he was when they drifted apart.
