Motor Yacht Christina O. Nobody back in 1943 in Canada could have guessed the future fame of the frigate Stormont, a convoy escort. But then came 1954, when Aristotle Onassis bought her. Instead of writing history as a navy ship, she wrote history as the world's grandest and most exalted yacht: Onassis' legendary "Christina".
In 1998, she was purchased by a new owner, a family friend of Onassis. Her new name is "Christina O". She has been restored to her old glory, through a complete refurbishment and repowering by the world's leading experts. The legendary yacht of Aristotle Onassis, Christina O has regularly entertained the worlds most famous, powerful and influential people, including Sir Winston Churchill, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, and many more.
