"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 in 1952, Aristotle Onassis's whaling ship, the "Olympic Whaler," carries a prototype Piaggio P-136 seaplane on its deck. The Italian twin-engine amphibious aircraft, registered I-FIMA, rests in a cradle supported by the ship’s derrick and crane system. Moored alongside a stone quay, the vessel and its unusual cargo attract the attention of onlookers on the dock, while crew members are visible aboard.
