...barnacles grow. Last week, out from a Kiel shipyard for a trial run with Onassis on board sailed his new yacht, probably the fanciest private ship afloat. Called the Christina (after his wife), Onassis' floating palace is a 1,445-ton, 303-ft. Canadian destroyer escort (Stormont) rebuilt into a yacht at an estimated cost of $2,500,000.
