Aristotle Onassis's whaling ship, the "Olympic Whaler," is moored in the bustling harbor of Nice in 1952. Its large, light-colored hull and dark funnel dominate the dockside. Nearby, a military-style craft with a gun turret rests on a wheeled trailer, attended by a group of men. In the background, the prototype Piaggio P-136 seaplane, registration I-FIMA, is visible on the deck of another vessel, with the coastal town and its tree-covered hills beyond.
