The Pilar Collector Quality Replica Boat

Pilar -The Pilar was the name given to Ernest Hemingway's prized possession: his 38 foot playmate fishing boat. It was built by the Wheeler Shipyard in 1934. Pilar 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 his second wife's nickname. Hemingway did most of his fishing with Captain Gregorio Fuentes on the boat. Fuentes was used as the fictional caricature in Hemingway's famous novel Old Man and the Sea. The boat now rests at Hemingway's Finca Vigia estate in San Francisco de Paula, Cuba.
