American gossip columnist Elsa Maxwell getting on board Onassis' yacht Christina. Monaco harbor 1954.

American gossip columnist Elsa Maxwell boards Aristotle Onassis' yacht, the *Christina*, in Monaco harbor, 1954. In this high-contrast nighttime scene, she carefully descends a set of metal stairs, gripping the railing for support. Dressed in a plush fur coat over a patterned dress, she is watched by a crew member in a double-breasted uniform who stands at attention below. A strong, direct light source illuminates the moment, creating stark highlights against the dark sea.
