What to Know About the Duke’s Yacht – My Blog

Nearly 60 years after John Wayne purchased the Wild Goose, we’re taking a look at all the details about the Duke’s 136-foot Navy minesweeper converted yacht.

According to a Vanity Fair article about the Wild Goose in 2017, John Wayne would travel to sea with various celebrities on the yacht. This includes Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. While speaking to the media outlet about his adventures on the yacht, Ethan Wayne discussed his father’s interest in being on the water with some rare snapshots. “Where he really lived his life was on boats. Or on the beach.”

John Wayne’s son also observed that while his movie icon father was on the boat, he would take a break from the “unique pressures” he expected as a working actor. “When he got on the boat, he could let all that go.”

When asked who would be a guest on the Wild Goose, the son of John Wayne recalled “Frank Sinatra would come around. Sammy Davis Jr. would charter the boat. Tom Jones would charter the boat, America the band. Or Dennis Wilson [from The Beach Boys]. He was around everyone. He was a huge, huge star. My dad went to the beach with the father of surfing. It doesn’t get any more legitimate than that.”
John Wayne’s Son Shares More Details About His Family’s Adventures on the Wild Goose 
As he continued to recall the adventures he and his other family members experienced on the Wild Goose, Wayne’s son Ethan said, He took me with him because he knew once I become a teenager, I’d kind of leave him for a while. He said, ‘Boys leave when they’re teenagers. They don’t come back until they’re in their 30s. And I won’t be there for Ethan when he comes back. So I’m gonna take him with me now.”
According to the Orange Country Register, Wayne purchased The Wild Goose in 1965 and sold the yacht before his death in 1979 to a Los Angeles attorney. Decades later, the boat, which anchored in Newport Beach, was placed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2011. The boat has had more than $3 million in renovations done to it since John Wayne’s ownership. Hornblower Cruises, an owner of the boat, purchased it in 1997. The company says it has since tried to maintain its “historic integrity.” 
Chandler Bell, Director of Marine Operations at Hornblower said, “We wanted to preserve the history of the vessel. We felt the boat deserved it.”
Bert Minshall, who was a deckhand for the ship in 1963 and became the ship’s captain in the 70s, spoke about the ship’s changes and renovations. This includes the decor. “Mr. Wayne would never have had that stuff on board.”

Squid Game season 2 is here and it’s changing people’s lives with its stellar plot, but for one woman, it just about ruined hers.

While the world tuned into Netflix’s top performing original TV show, another woman was battling with the ramifications of the series.

It’s been three years since the fantastic debut of season 1, which saw Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, battle it out against all odds to become the ultimate winner out of 456 contestants.

Season 2 picks right back up where it left off, having Gi-hun enter the game one more time to attempt to take own the shadowy overlords running the terrible competition which sees all but one person die.

However, the series had to quickly rectify a mistake after it accidentally ruined a woman’s life.

Hwang Dong-hyuk’s masterpiece featured a lot of little details, and one of which meant that a woman was barely able to live her life as normal.

In one scene in season 1, there was an eight-digit number on the Squid Game business card given to Gi-hun.

Now, if you add the South Korean mobile prefix, (010) it becomes a phone number you can really dial.

Unfortunately, people did go on to dial it and in 2021, a Seongju local became inundated by calls around the clock.

Kim Gil-young used this number for her business, as she was self-employed and had to suffer from 24-hour calls and texts.

She told Money Today at the time: “Since the airing of Squid Game, I’ve been receiving texts and calls 24 hours a day, to the point where it’s difficult to live my daily life.

“This is a number that I’ve been using for more than 10 years, so I’m quite taken aback. There are more than 4,000 numbers that I’ve had to delete from my phone.

“I get calls out of curiosity day and night without any sense of time, to the point where my phone battery would run out in half a day.”

While the number also appeared in episode 2, it was eventually taken out of further scenes.

“At first, I didn’t know what it meant, but I found out when my friends told me, ‘Your number appears in Squid Game,’” she added.

Gil-young complained to Netflix and the production company Siren Pictures.

Netflix said at the time: “Together with the production company, we are working to resolve this matter, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary.”

Just weeks later, her number was replaced with 010-034, which is totally uncallable.

While the business card does appear in Squid Game Season 2, that business card does show up again, it’s not the woman’s number again.

If you’ve not yet watched season 2, we spoke exclusively to the show’s creator, Dong-hyuk, who wrote Squid Game.

He shared that it’s a lot ‘darker’ than the first instalment, telling us: “What I can say for sure is that compared to season one, it’s going to be greater in scale. It’s going to be more intriguing.

“Some games are going to be more comical than ones you’ve seen in the past, and some are going to be even darker and more brutal than what you’ve seen in season one.

“There’s going to be a greater amount of entertaining factors, a huge range of experiences.

“It’s going to give you some really extremely sad, heartbreaking moments.”
