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 harbor of Monaco in 1954, two prominent yachts are moored. On the left is the *Shemara*, the motor yacht of Sir Bernard Docker and his wife Lady Norah, its white hull distinguished by a row of circular portholes. To its right, seen head-on, is the *Huong Giang* (River of Scents), formerly the *Maid Marion* and the yacht of Emperor Bao-Dai of Vietnam. A small tender is positioned in the water between the two large vessels, set against the hazy coastline of the principality.
