Short summary
The title refers to the ill-fated passenger liner which collided with the passenger liner MS Stockholm on 25 July 1956 in the fog south of Nantucket Island in the North Atlantic. Fifty-one people were killed on both ships and the Stockholm penetrated 40 feet into the Andrea Doria which took on water and capsized in about thirty minutes. The next morning the Andrea Doria sank and slipped beneath the waves. Many ships came to the rescue so that everyone who got off the ship was saved as opposed the disaster of the Titanic that occurred 44 years before.
Kramer's (Michael Richards) coughing message to the police is a parody of Lassie's saving the day by warning of danger or trouble.
When Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) says, "In my home. My home, Elaine! Where I sleep, where I come to play with my toys" he is referencing dialogue from Der Pate 2 (1974) when Michael says "In my home! In my bedroom, where my wife sleeps! Where my children come and play with their toys."
When George (Jason Alexander) talks to the association about his life story, he references several Seinfeld episodes.
- episode 3.13 Seinfeld: The Subway (1992) ("I was handcuffed to the bed, in my underwear")
- episode 3.19 Seinfeld: The Limo (1992) ("She was attractive, she was, also, in fact, a Nazi")
- episode 5.20 Seinfeld: The Hamptons (1994) ("The water that I had been swimming in was very cold. And, when I dropped the towel, there had been significant shrinkage")
- episode 7.11 Seinfeld: The Rye (1996) ("Her parents were looking at me. So there I was, with a marble rye hanging from the end of a fishing pole"
- episode 7.22 Seinfeld: The Invitations (1996) ("Oh, also.. my fiance died from licking toxic envelopes that I picked out")
The scene where Kramer (Michael Richards) stuffs all his food into his mouth was shot six times before it was right. Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) laughed at Richards' antics during two takes, a camera ran out of film and the store door wouldn't open during two others, and because the outdoor NYC street set is near an airport the noise of a passing airplane interrupted the very first attempt. Richards was almost sick at times during this scene.
Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) confuses the Freighter Edmund Fitzgerald with Canadian musician Gordon Lightfoot. In 1976, Gordon Lightfoot had a hit song entitled "Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald"
George (Jason Alexander) is said to be 34 in this episode, even though he gave his age as 33 in episode 2.8 Seinfeld: The Heart Attack (1991), which was six years prior to this one.
Kramer (Michael Richards) refers to "his" book, "Astonishing Tales of the Sea". This implies that he is/was a book author, a profession he never had disclosed before.
