JFK Photo , John F. Kennedy On A Boat With Naked Women

UPDATE: The photo is fake ! According to a Playboy rep, the men's magazine ran this photo as a part of a spread in Nov. 1967- four years after JFK was assasinated. The colored photo was published with a story titled "Playboy's Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny with an Able-Bodies Complement of Ship's Belles." See the original photo below.

TMZ has published this startling photo that appears to be John F. Kennedy (JKF) on a boat with several naked women.

The recently discovered photo was believed to be taken in the mid-1950s. It shows two nude women jumping off the boat and two more naked women sunning on the top deck. Just below the top deck -- a man appearing to be John F. Kennedy is shown sunbathing.

TMZ says it consulted all kinds of experts who concluded that the photo appears to be authentic and shows no evidence of digital alterations.

There are numerous articles and books on President John F. Kennedy which mention a 2-week, Mediterranean boating trip that JFK -- then a Senator -- took in August, 1956, with his brother Ted Kennedy and Senator George Smathers. The trio reportedly entertained a number of women on the yacht. Jackie Kennedy was pregnant at the time and was rushed to the hospital while JFK was on the boat. Doctors performed an emergency C-section, but the infant was stillborn.

An unidentified man, who owned a car dealership on the East coast, kept the photo in a drawer for years, and would brag to friends he had an image of JFK on a boat with naked women. The man died 10 years ago and one of his sons inherited the photo.
