  • Ernest Hemingway owned a 38-foot (12 m) fishing boat named Pilar. It was acquired in April 1934 from Wheeler Shipbuilding in Brooklyn, New York, for $7,495. "Pilar" was a nickname for Hemingway's second 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 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 (1953) and Islands in the Stream (1970). The yacht also inspired the name of Playa Pilar (Pilar Beach) on Cayo Guillermo. A smaller replica of the boat is depicted in the opening and other scenes in the 2012 film Hemingway & Gellhorn. (en)
  • La Pilar est un yacht à moteur, lancé en 1934, ayant appartenu à Ernest Hemingway. L'écrivain achète son bateau de pêche-plaisance au chantier Wheeler de Brooklyn (New York, États-Unis) en avril 1934. Il le paye 7 455 $ et le baptise Pilar. Pendant 26 ans (jusqu'en 1960), Hemingway et son bateau croisent et pêchent assidûment dans les eaux de Key West (Floride), les Marquesas Keys, et dans le Gulf Stream au large de Cuba. À la fin des années 1930, ils vont trois fois à Bimini (Bahamas), et Ernest s’y rend célèbre par ses exploits dans 3 domaines : pêche au gros, boisson et bagarres. Il y a souvent à bord des invités : amis, célébrités, parents. Hemingway était un grand pêcheur sportif au gros. Il est considéré comme un des fondateurs de ce sport, et son nom figure en bonne place sur la liste affichée dans le hall des célébrités de l'International Game Fish Association. La Pilar et les moments que Hemingway a passé en mer à son bord ont inspiré plusieurs de ses livres : The Old Man and the Sea (Le Vieil Homme et la Mer), To Have and Have Not (En avoir ou pas), et Islands in the Stream (Îles à la dérive). Hemingway et sa Pilar ont aussi contribué à la recherche scientifique océanographique (l'écrivain a été correspondant de la Smithsonian Institution) — et pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale à la lutte contre les sous-marins allemands.
