Norwester - John Wayne's first yacht!
John Wayne's California yacht during the 1950's, the 76' Classic Motor Yacht Norwester has found her home in Anacortes, the gateway to the San Juan Islands. Restored to her former rustic glory, you'll see the original logbook entries of guests Ray Milland, Betty Davis and others.
Most people in the Northwest will say "don't you mean the Wild Goose?"
The Norwester was actually the yacht John Wayne owned during the
1950's, before the Wild Goose. She was always moored at his Newport
Beach home and played host to many of his entertainment industry friends.
