Ernest Hemingway owned a 38-foot (12 m) fishing boat named Pilar. “Pilar” was a nickname for Hemingway’s wife Pauline and also the name of the woman leader of the partisan band in his 1940 novel of the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Hemingway regularly fished off the boat in the waters of North Cojímar Coast knowing “Hemingway Mile”, Key West, Florida, Marquesas Keys, and the Gulf Stream off the Cuban coast. He made three trips with the boat to the Bimini islands wherein his fishing, drinking, and fighting exploits drew much attention and remain part of the history of the islands. In addition to fishing trips on Pilar, Hemingway contributed to scientific research which included collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution. Several of Hemingway’s books were influenced by time spent on the boat, most notably, The Old Man and the Sea and Islands in the Stream. The yacht also inspired the name of Playa Pilar (Pilar Beach) on Cayo Guillermo-Cuba. The Pilar was donated to Finca Vigia Museums of Hemingway in Cuba by his captain for +22 years: Gregorio Fuentes who lived in Cojímar until him dead (See two photos of Gregorio smoking on board).
