Famous Hollywood movie actor John Wayne once owned this luxury yacht, the Wild Goose, which currently is a for-hire party boat based in his former hometown of Newport Beach, California, USA. The Duke, as Wayne was nicknamed, spent more than a million dollars converting a Navy minesweeper from World War II into his 136-foot () pleasure craft in 1962. Wayne and his extended family used the impressive vessel for 17 years until his death at the age of 72. Brunch and dinner cruises operated by the Hornblower company now offer everyone an opportunity to sail on the historic ship.
