Anyone for a 3-hour tour? If you get on the S.S. Minnow and the other passengers are a movie star, a professor, a millionaire and his wife, not to mention Mary Ann, you might want to check to make sure you’ve packed enough to wear for a long vacation.
\nYes, the S.S. Minnow from Gilligan’s Island<\/a>\"\" is being restored<\/a> and will be available for tours. More than one boat<\/a> was used on the show, but this is the one in the opening credits.
\nI have special affection for this boat because it was named after my father, Newton Minow<\/a>, whose famous speech<\/a> to the broadcasters calling television a “vast wasteland” annoyed “Gilligan’s Island” creator Sherwood Schwartz. So Schwartz named the sinking boat after him! My dad got a huge kick out of it and later had a very cordial exchange of letters with Schwartz. It is a great point of pride for our family. \"cast-of-gilligans-island.jpg\"<\/span>
