In 1954 Aristotle Socrates Onassis created the greatest yacht of all, Christina. Named after his  daughter, she was a gorgeous, 325-foot, shimmering-white masterpiece.  The ship had begun life in 1943 as the Canadian naval frigate Stormont, a convoy escort, Onassis purchased her in 1948 for just $34,000 and converted her during the early 1950’s into the most sumptuous private yacht that the world had ever seen, at a cost of more than $4 million.
