The Wild Goose wasn’t just John Wayne’s yacht, it was his escape. A floating sanctuary from Hollywood where he spent quiet days with his wife and kids, far from the spotlight. Captain Bert remembers long watches in the wheelhouse, feet propped up, Wayne often by his side. It may have been a converted minesweeper, but for The Duke, it was always a family boat. 📍 Explore more Wild Goose memories at @balboaislandmuseum 🔗 Link in bio for the full exhibit and oral history series | Balboa Island Mus

The Wild Goose, a 136-foot yacht once owned by John Wayne, still glides through Newport Bay. It’s now operated by Hornblower Cruises, but her legacy runs deep. Captain Bert Menchal first boarded the vessel as first mate. Years later, he became Wayne’s captain for the final three years of the star’s life. He remembers meeting the Duke in La Paz, Mexico, and never forgetting the moment he was asked to greet an icon. 📍 Visit @balboaislandmuseum for rare stories from the Wild Goose | Balboa Island

The Wild Goose, John Wayne’s iconic converted minesweeper, still floats through Newport’s waters like a memory in motion. Her original helm, engine telegraph, and binnacle remain—updated only where the Coast Guard insisted. And the captain?

Sometimes it cruises the bay. 📍 Follow @balboaislandmuseum for more untold local legends. 🔗 Link in bio for walking tours, exh
