Unknown 1950s photo of John F. Kennedy on yacht with naked women found

[HMG] – In September 1960, John F. Kennedy faced Richard Nixon in what many see as the most influential television discussion in this nation’s history. Kennedy’s bravura performance later won him the White House, but now a picture has surfaced that could have changed all of that.

The never-before seen photo (below) shows a large boat on which several woman — of whom all are naked — are sunning themselves on the decks. And among them is someone experts believe went on to become our 35th President — JFK.

Thought to have been taken some time in the 50′s, the photo is creased and cracked from the passage of time and frequent rough handling, but TMZ had the dog-eared print examined by experts and the conclusion among them is strong — the man in the photo is JFK.

Forensic photography expert, Professor Jeff Sedlik told the reporters the print seems authentic. He confirmed it’s printed on the kind of paper used at that time, there are no signs it was Photoshopped, and the cracks in the surface were not made in some ham-fisted attempt to make a new print look old.

The photographer’s name is unknown, but the photo, that could have changed history if it surfaced when JFK was alive was owned by a New Jersey car dealer, who used to brag to his friends he had a photo of the President with a bunch of nude women. When he died ten years ago, his son got the photo and passed to the ethical scholars who run TMZ.

Update: It’s likely a fake after-all.  A rep from Playboy tells TMZ the photo ran as part of story titled, “Playboy’s Charter Yacht Party: How to Have a Ball on the Briny with an Able-Bodies Complement of Ship’s Belles.”
