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.
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.
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.
Absolutely beautiful yacht / I would love to cruise around the Mediterranean in that, what a thrill but at 400,000 Euros for one week, I know it won’t happen, at least not in this lifetime - lol
Trevor you should have your portrait in the gallery our English national Treasure, i don't think you received much hate mail. Not a lot. Your face was adorned on telly for ages until you retired.with special pleading You might get your boat race
@@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."
@@graemebarwick6669 Your more than welcome for the giggle. There is that and I estimate 80 million men in America alone that would personally dispute that whole claim of worlds largest, if you only got them drunk. And then, of course, there's Texas! Nuff said.
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?
Something you might be curious to know. The papparitzi would taint Onassis to showcase his big ..... He would unzip his pants and oblige the curious lot.
Amazing yacht!!!
Onassis helped many families giving money and jobs!! Respect!!!!
I saw the Christina in a Greek harbor in 1960, pre Jackie, but probably the days of Maria! Amazing!
He was with Maria Callas for many years .
Incredible. Thank you Sir. Fondest greetings from South Africa 😊

I love Trevor MacDonald. He’s such a gentleman.
Agree, he speaks well. Makes a good narrator.
Onassis knew how to live. The boat was well taken care of. It's beautiful inside.
Oh Dear Lord what a sensationally beautiful yacht. Well, if you have plenty of money to spend. Live the life of a King I say.
The bar ambience is perfect . I'd love to go back in time and sit there and have a Jack Daniels w Cnurchill.
It's absolutely beautiful!!

I need to learn more about the life of this vessel. Fascinating.

Really beautiful.
I'm more intrigued that Maria Callas was a regular on the Christina. If walls could talk
Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Prince Rainer and Princess Grace were also regulars on the Christina. Ari loved NAMES. Big names, that is.
Maria was the long time lover of Onasis.
@@sunnyhill5119 Also Jackie Kennedy when she was married to JFK .
So nice to see!!!😊😊 Thank you for sharing a beautiful yacht!!!😊😊
All the Onassis family are gone accept Athina.
If boat's could talk!!!!😳
Something magical about cruising on the Christina O....
PERFECT EXAMPLE OF "YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU" 😺😺😺
But you will have great time till your end

θα ειθελα να σε βοηθησω με μια μικρι βαρκουλα το ιδιο εινε πρυκιπισα μου
Wish I could step on board , what a dream would be . So much history , may they all be resting in peace
que belleza
What an era, never knew about Onasis being prominent in the whaling industry.
when class had real class
@MsMissy has no class either
@MsMissy TRUE...but at least that yacht is classy. It was once described as 'the last word in opulence' in its time. And I believe it.
@MsMissy correct ,rich yes,greed yes,but had class no!!!!!🤗

We’re is it today
No doubt a lot of seamen associated with the Christina O
Actually it looks very similar to 60s Sitmar ships: Fairsea, Fairsky, Fairstar.
😍
Υπέροχο....δεν το πήρε μαζί Του όμως ...προτιμώ την απλή και δύσκολη καθημερινότητά Μου....τα απίστευτα πολλά είναι κατάρα.
Soundtrack??
The history behind it is awesome ..and chilling. This is something some Arabs or Elon Musk might rent. It is for elites.
I couldn't make out the story behind the bar stool and Greta Garbo (about 6mins in) ! Can someone enlighten me?
The bar stools were evidently made out of some sort of penis. I am going to go back ad listen to it again myself.
@@servicarrider Thanks for that !

Was it changed by the new owners due maritime registration laws?

AO was a member of Yacht Club de Monaco.
Present owners are not.
JFK was never on the Christina O.
I don't know about that. I think I might be wrong that's when she first met Ari with her husband. It could have been with her sister too.
@@kathleendobens6648...JFK was NEVER on the Christina.
He and Jaqueline had been guests there in the 50s. They saw sir Winston Churchill who was a
Regular guest of Onassis.

I think that's a vintage Chris - Craft the interviewer guy is trolling around in to look at yachts that aren't nearly as impressive as his boat
