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 the sunlit harbor of Nice in 1952, the captain of Aristotle Onassis’s whaling ship, the “Olympic Whaler,” stands in his formal uniform beside a dark convertible. In the background, the large vessel is docked with an Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat, the Piaggio P-136 prototype I-FIMA, resting on its deck. Another man in a dark suit watches the captain as bright sunlight casts a sharp shadow on the paved ground of the dock.
