Hemingway Pilar Boat
L: 27.5 W: 7.5 H: 15 Inches
This is the model of the famous Hemingway Pilar Boat. The model was 100% handmade based on the original plan and painted green and black color. Contains many details such as wooden chair, wooden bed, metal railings and metal steering wheel. Come with a wooden stand and ready for display.
The Pilar was author Ernest Hemingway's prized possession. The 38-foot fishing boat was built by the Wheeler Shipyard in 1934 and was named after a bullfight shrine Hemingway had visited in Zaragoza, Spain. The shrine is prominently mentioned in Hemingway's book " For Whom the Bell Tolls."
Pilar is also said to be the nickname of Hemingway's second wife. Hemingway purchased the boat in 1934 for $7,500. Hemingway, an avid sport fisherman, did most of his fishing with Capt. Gregorio Fuentes on the boat. Fuentes was used as the fictional character in Hemingway's classic novel " The Old Man and the Sea."
The boat now rests at Hemingway's Finca Vigia estate in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba. The boat originally had a black hull, but it has been painted green while in Cuba
