"Olympic Whaler", the whaling ship of Aristotle Onassis. With Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat I-FIMA, prototype of Piaggio P-136. Monaco harbor 1952.

In the harbor of Monaco in 1952, Aristotle Onassis's whaling ship, the "Olympic Whaler," is moored at a concrete quay. On its aft deck rests the Piaggio P-136 prototype I-FIMA, an Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat. The large vessel is distinguished by a prominent funnel bearing a circular logo of intertwined rings, while in the background, densely packed buildings ascend the steep, rocky hillside.
