Leaving for a dinner party in Monaco, Sir Winston Churchill carefully descends the gangplank of Aristotle Onassis’s yacht, the *Christina*, in 1959. Wearing a bowler hat and using a cane, he is preceded by his Scotland Yard bodyguard, Edmond Murray, and followed by a sailor in a white uniform. At the top of the ramp, Lady Churchill waits while other guests are visible on deck. The glittering lights of the town are reflected in the harbor water.
