History in the making
July 5, 2011
A timeless icon, John Wayne left a legacy in American culture and society that remains today…Both on land and sea.
His yacht, the Wild Goose, is currently owned by Hornblower Cruises in Newport Beach, California.
Wayne purchased the vessel in 1962 and refurbished it as a yacht, as it was once a World War II minesweeper.
The vessel has recently been nominated for a place on the National Register of Historic Places, an award meant to recognize places with significance and encourage preservation.
