![]() ![]() ![]() It’spossible to sprout extra portholes through the years, but after further research, I’m pretty certain I can identify her based on her porthole arrangement. I have lots of boat books in my library.Ī first I thought she might be one of the four sisters of the 75-foot Consolidated built commuter Jem (originally Jessica) with a different porthole arrangement. That was a reasonable suggestion based on the broken sheer line commonly found on Consolidated’s commuters of the 1920’s, so I decided to play sleuthmyself. She’s a commuter yacht that Pete said might be by Consolidated Shipbuilding Co. The boat I liked in the movie was further out to sea than “Santana”. When I Googled“Key Largo movie boat” yesterday looking to ID the big boat in the movie, I got this thread. TCM showed Key Largo again this Saturday. This is the blurb about the boat and it verifies something I always thought when I watched the film Key Largo.Īug 25, 2010, 05:30 PM Hi Pete and anyone else, The boat is still there and you can visit it and see the Hemingway memorabilia on it. Go here and scroll down to the bottom-most, left-hand photo. If you are ever in Islamorada, Fla., Stop in at the World Wide Sportsman to see the Pilar replica. The boat was built at Weeks Shipyard in Brooklyn in 1933. In fact, you can go see the actual boat if you wish at the Islamorada bass Pro store. I love these kinds of questions, I suppose because I am a bit of a sleuth.Īnyway, I found it for you. Anybody have any info on this yacht? Pete In the movie "Key Largo" before the hurricane hits,Bogey and Bacall go out to the wharf to tie up their boat and there is a large yacht maybe 60 feet long or so sitting out in the water. This bit from a discussion place found by simply googling 'the boat in the movie key largo'. ![]()
