The captain of "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 Nice harbor, 1952, the captain of Aristotle Onassis's whaling ship, the "Olympic Whaler," stands in his uniform beside a dark convertible. Docked at the quayside behind him, the ship carries an unusual cargo on its deck: the prototype of the Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat, a Piaggio P-136 registered as I-FIMA. A man in a dark suit looks on as the bright sunlight casts long shadows across the stone.
