Over the years, the iconic Port Hercules of Monaco has welcomed countless superyachts. As the only deep-water port in Monaco, the harbour has been integral in the development of the Principality as the capital of yachting. Although the modern Port Hercules was completed in 1926, it underwent substantial improvements in the 1970s to become the bustling hotspot known today. Here, revered in-house yacht historian, Malcolm Wood and SuperYacht Times take a closer look at some of the most iconic yachts to dock in the Principality between the 1950s and 1970s.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/48467/image/large-64f3c0345f41ab373ca7dea0a8f0da52.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/48467">Carostefal anchored by Port Hercules of MonacoPictured here is the Rainier III Nautical Stadium, complete with its Olympic-sized swimming pool that was completed in 1972.
