Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor, and Jimmy Donahue, an heir to the Woolworth estate, board the yacht *Olnico* in the bustling Cannes marina in 1951. Donahue, wearing a vertically striped shirt and light trousers, follows the Duchess, who is dressed in a dark, knee-length dress, along a narrow gangplank. The harbor is filled with sailing yachts, their tall masts creating a dense backdrop. Although openly gay, Donahue claimed he had a four-year affair with the Duchess.
