Huong Giang (River of Scents), former Maid Marion, the yacht of the Emperor Bao-Dai of Vietnam. Left: Yacht Shemara of Sir Bernard Docker and his wife Lady Norah. Monaco 1954.
In Monaco's harbor, 1954, Sir Bernard and Lady Norah Docker's yacht *Shemara* (left) is moored alongside the *Huong Giang* (formerly *Maid Marion*), the vessel of Emperor Bao-Dai of Vietnam. The emperor's yacht presents a more vertical bow in contrast to the sleek, raked profile of the *Shemara*, whose white hull and complex superstructure dominate the foreground. A small tender floats in the calm water between the two grand vessels, with the hazy coastline visible in the distance under a bright, overcast sky.
