[edit]I'm adding some material from the extensive NRHP nomination document, now available and linked in the article. The yacht's significance for NRHP listing was the association with John Wayne, not its WWII service. The years of significance for NRHP listing are 1962-1979, the period of Wayne's ownership. I believe that the article should probably be moved to a more descriptive name, perhaps "Wild Goose (yacht)", eventually, depending on how development goes. Comments welcome here, and others' help developing in the article would be welcome, too. --doncram 22:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
I think the two films should be listed in chronological order, like so:
Wild Goose was featured in the 1967 film The President's Analyst, doubling as a Canadian spy ship.[5]
The ship was also featured in the 1968 film Skidoo where she was the yacht, named Mother, of a reclusive mob boss named "God" played by Groucho Marx. The yacht was used extensively with scenes shot from the exterior and in the wheel house, cabins, engine room, upper and lower decks.
Same thing with recent history:
Recent history
It was listed on the US National Register of Historic Places on 19 July 2011.[2][7][3]
The vessel is still in operation for dinner cruises in Newport Beach, California by Hornblower Cruises.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Egamma (talk • contribs) 20:33, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
