I saw the Christina in a Greek harbor in 1960, pre Jackie, but probably the days of Maria! Amazing!

When you think about it, The Christina O, is probably one of the few places, in the world, that had such a diverse, not to mention, fascinating people of the 20th century!

What a beautiful video. An echo from the golden years of glamour. I'm So glad it is still a presence upon the azure seas of the French Mediterranean. I remember years ago seeing a video of it falling into neglect. I'm thrilled someone with a $ ,a sense of history invested in the Christina O. I wonder if the grand daughter will ever have the knouse to sail on it one-day? Probably not.

Formerly the HMCS Stormont in the Royal Canadian Navy. She was launched in Montreal in 1943 and served in the Atlantic and Arctic as a convoy escort and also played a support role for amphibious operations in the D-Day landings.

The pool water empties and the bottom of the pool rises up level to the deck to become a dance floor. True fact.

She was a Canadian frigate that Onassis purchased in the 1940's for about $50,000. His archrival Stavros Niarchos had a smaller but more elegant yacht called The Creole.

@@graemebarwick6669 You're more than welcome. The worlds largest penis, or so they claim. I am doing some editing so I still haven't had the chance to go back and review it. "The Biggest Penis Overall. Measuring 10 feet in length, far longer than the tallest human is tall, is the penis of the blue whale. And with a diameter thicker than human penises are tall (12-18 inches), the blue whale penis puts all other phalluses to shame."

When was the name changed from "Christina Y.C.M." to "Christina O"? And why? What did the "Y.C.M" stand for? Was it changed by the new owners due maritime registration laws? I'm kinda curious about Onassis' arch rival's yacht the Creole. Is she still around today?
