Got $32m? Jackie O's 'Love Boat' for sale



If this yacht could talk, one can only imagine the stories it would tell about one of the most high-profile romances of the 20th century.

The stately superyacht Christina O isn't just a gorgeous 99-meter vessel. It's the palatial setting where billionaire shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis married Jackie Kennedy, the former wife of U.S. President John F Kennedy.

Now the luxury liner which played host to the crème de la crème of 1950s high society -- including Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton and John Wayne -- has gone on sale for a whopping $32 million.
