The Great Fire of London was a major conflagration that swept
through the central parts of London from Sunday, 2 September
to Thursday, 6 September 1666. The fire gutted the medieval
City of London inside the old Roman city wall. The death toll is
generally thought to have been relatively small, although some
historians have challenged this belief.

The fire started in a bakery shortly after midnight on Sunday, 2 September, and spread rapidly.

At 11:10 p.m., 45 miles south of Nantucket Island, the Italian ocean
liner Andrea Doria and the Swedish ocean liner Stockholm collided
in a heavy Atlantic fog. Fifty-one passengers and crew were killed
in the collision, which ripped a great hole in the broad side of the
Italian vessel. Miraculously, all 1,660 survivors on the Andrea Doria
were rescued from the severely listing ship before it sunk late the
next morning. Both ships were equipped with sophisticated radar systems, and authorities were puzzled as to the cause of the
accident.
