Huong Giang (River of Scents), former Maid Marion, the yacht of the Emperor Bao-Dai of Vietnam. Left: Yacht Shemara of Sir Bernard Docker and his wife Lady Norah. Monaco 1954.
In the calm waters of Monaco harbor, the large, white-hulled motor yachts *Shemara* (left) and *Huong Giang* are moored side-by-side, 1954. The *Shemara*, owned by Sir Bernard Docker and his wife Lady Norah, features a sleek, pointed bow and multiple decks. To its right is the slightly smaller *Huong Giang* (River of Scents), formerly *Maid Marion* and the personal yacht of Emperor Bao-Dai of Vietnam. Its name is visible on its more vertical bow. A small tender is tucked between the two vessels, with a hazy coastline in the distance.
