Niarchos' Schooner Le Créole. Villefranche 1955
Niarchos' majestic schooner, *Le Créole*, rests in the calm waters of Villefranche, 1955. Captured from a high angle, the vessel is positioned close to a stone quay, its dark hull and numerous portholes contrasting with massive white sails that dominate the frame. Intricate rigging forms a complex web, while a French flag flies from the main mast. On deck, a few figures can be seen near the stern, set against a steep, wooded hillside where several villas are visible amongst the trees.
