The mosaic swimming pool which drained and rose to deck level to create a dance floor on board Onassis' yacht Christina. Monaco harbor 1955.

The remarkable swimming pool on board Aristotle Onassis' yacht, the *Christina*, seen here in Monaco harbor in 1955. The floor, an intricate mosaic depicting a stylized sea creature, could be drained and raised to deck level, transforming the empty basin into a dance floor. Deep wicker chairs with plush cushions rest on the surrounding wooden deck.
