Moored in Cannes harbor in 1954, the yacht *Moineau* belonged to “La Môme Moineau,” a former flower seller who became the richest woman of the Côte d'Azur. Her husband, shipbuilding millionaire Felix Benítez-Rexach, had converted the 92-meter US Navy frigate *Natchez* (1942) into this luxurious private vessel. A low-angle view captures the ship's flared bow, where its name is emblazoned in capital letters above a row of rectangular windows. The yacht was scrapped in 1959.
