Ernest Hemingway was a world renowned
writer, but did you know that he was also the world’s greatest adventurer? He
lived by the words, “Il Faut d’abord durer,” meaning “First one must endure.”
With record breaking fishing expeditions in the Caribbean to hunting game on
the African plains, these adventures provided the foundation of the poignant
stories that transformed American literature. Pilar, a 1934 Wheeler Playmate Cruiser,
was Hemingway’s vessel which allowed him to reach beyond the shoreline, feast
on life, and then recount his tales of adventure through his typewriter.
