"Olympic Whaler", the whaling ship of Aristotle Onassis. With Italian twin-engine amphibian flying boat I-FIMA, prototype of Piaggio P-136. Nice harbor 1952.
Secured on the deck of Aristotle Onassis's whaling ship, the 'Olympic Whaler', is an Italian twin-engine amphibious flying boat—a prototype Piaggio P-136 with registration I-FIMA. Docked in the harbor of Nice in 1952, the vessel and its unusual cargo attract the gazes of men with bicycles on the paved quay. The ship’s large, dark funnel is marked with a circular logo, and crew members, one in a white officer's cap, are visible on deck.
