The 38-foot fishing boat was built by the Wheeler Shipyard in 1934 and was named after a bullfight shrine HemingwayT had visited in Zaragoza, Spain. The shrine is prominently mentioned in HemingwayT's book For Whom the Bell Tolls. Pilar is also said to be the nickname of HemingwayT's second wife. HemingwayT, an avid sport fisherman, did most of his fishing with Capt. Gregorio Fuentes on the boat.

Fuentes was used as the fictional character in HemingwayT's classic novel The Old Man and the Sea. The boat now rests at HemingwayT'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. Your satisfaction is our #1 priority! We will make sure you receive it in perfect condition!
