July 1959. Pictured in a small car Sir Winston Churchill with Aristotle Onassis driving, after leaving Onassis' yacht "Christina" as they leave to see the famous Delphi antiquities.
Winston Churchill, at the age of 85, and Aristotle Onassis visited Tenerife on board the latter's private yacht on February 21, 1959. Their wives were with them: Lady Clementine and Tina.
The four of them traveled in the same car, a convertible Fiat 500, which they took aboard the ship, where 42 people were traveling. The ship was headed to Santa Cruz de Tenerife under the command of Captain Costas Anastassiadis. There was also a seaplane on the yacht.
It’s not clear whether Maria Callas was on this 325-foot ship called Christina O, then the most luxurious yacht in the world. The bar stools were padded with whale penis skin. The car they used to get around Puerto de la Cruz had wicker seats.
Callas wasn’t Onassis’ mistress at the start of this cruise. She was supposedly invited with her husband Battista Meneghini. But there’s no record that he was actually on board. Winston Churchill was traveling with his wife, daughter, and 16-year-old granddaughter.
