Join us on a tour of John Wayne's former WWII Navy minesweeper the Wild Goose with Duke's youngest son Ethan Wayne in Newport Beach, CA.

John Wayne was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed voyages on his 136-foot yacht, a converted wooden naval minesweeper, the Wild Goose. The boat was originally titled USS YMS-328 and it rolled out of the Ballard Marine Railway Company shipyard in Seattle, WA on May 26, 1943, Duke’s 35th birthday.

John Wayne treated the Wild Goose as a floating sanctuary for his family and friends. Duke would embark on longer voyages to Mexico or up north to British Columbia and Alaska. Activities included fishing, snorkeling, waterskiing, and playing card games or chess to pass the time.
