"Olympic Whaler", the whaling ship of Aristotle Onassis. With Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat I-FIMA, prototype of Piaggio P-136. Nice harbor 1952.
In the harbor of Nice, 1952, four young men with bicycles pause on a stone pier, their attention captured by the "Olympic Whaler". Owned by Aristotle Onassis, the whaling ship carries an unusual cargo: the prototype of the Italian Piaggio P-136, a twin-engine amphibious flying boat with the registration I-FIMA, positioned on deck beneath a large crane.
