This ship was a locale for Hollywood elite to gather and party together. Humphrey Bogart skippered this schooner as a Transpacific Judges’ boat in the 1936 Transpacific Yacht Race from Santa Monica Light to Diamond Head Light; 2210 nautical miles. Howard Hughes secretly married actress Terri Moore on board. Hughes had the boat stripped, her masts shortened, and rebuilt her into a staysail schooner. Sailors included John Wayne, Winston Churchill, and Nancy and Ronald Reagan to name just a few that have been confirmed. Wayne chartered her, sailing from San Carlos, Mexico to Hawaii and then back to San Juan Island. Many more famous individuals have been purported to have walked her deck and enjoyed the sea air.
