Niarchos' Schooner Le Créole. Villefranche 1955

Viewed from a high vantage point off the coast of Villefranche in 1955, Stavros Niarchos’s schooner, *Le Créole*, displays its towering masts and brilliant white sails. The vessel's dark hull, featuring a line of portholes, sits in the water near a rugged coast where a steep, terraced hillside rises sharply. Villas are nestled amongst the dense foliage, and a French flag flies from the rigging. The black and white photograph highlights the strong contrast between the bright sails and the dark landscape.
