At the very least, the willful and somewhat impetuous only surviving child of the great Golden Greek, Aristotle Onassis, who died in March 1975, has given the shipping world some surprises. At first, the closely knit Greek shipping fraternity expected her to steer clear of the business altogether. Then, when she asserted her rights as beneficiary of 47.5% of her father's 50-ship fleet...
