Yacht Shemara of Sir Bernard Docker and his wife Lady Norah. Yacht Christina of Aristotle Onassis. Minesweapers USS Dash, USS Detector, USS Dominant. Monaco c.1954

In the bustling harbor of Monaco, c. 1954, three U.S. Navy minesweepers—the USS *Dash*, USS *Detector*, and USS *Dominant*—are moored side-by-side in the foreground. Their decks, active with uniformed sailors, are laden with equipment including large winches and radar arrays. These military vessels share the waters with luxurious private yachts, among them Aristotle Onassis’s *Christina* and the *Shemara*, owned by Sir Bernard and Lady Norah Docker. The fortified, hilly coastline of the principality provides the backdrop for the busy maritime scene.
