Яхта "Христина" (Yachta "Hristina")

The Christina yacht, originally a Canadian frigate and later owned by Aristotle Onassis, is currently being sold for approximately $60 million after a significant price drop. Its history is intertwined with famous figures like Winston Churchill, Liza Minnelli, Maria Callas, and Jacqueline Kennedy, and it boasts opulent features including a lapis lazuli fireplace and whale-skin barstools. Despite its storied past and recent restoration, the yacht faces challenges due to current geopolitical instability, a shifting luxury market, and its outdated design compared to modern superyachts. The ship’s complex history, including its time rusting at a Greek naval base and subsequent restoration, adds to its unique, albeit complicated, appeal.
