The yacht *Moineau*, seen here in Cannes harbor in 1954, belonged to "La Môme Moineau" (the kid sparrow). A former flower seller, she became known as the richest woman on the Côte d'Azur after marrying Puerto Rican shipbuilding millionaire Félix Benítez Rexach. The imposing 92-meter vessel was a converted US Navy frigate, the *Natchez* (1942). This low-angle view captures its white hull, with the name on the bow and a tall mast rising against the sky as an anchor chain descends into the water.
