Ernest Hemingway's 40-foot black-hulled fishing boat, the Pilar,will be getting the once-over from Dana Hewson, the vice president for watercraft preservation at Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, The Associated Press reported. Mr. Hewson and members of the Hemingway Preservation Foundation have gone to Cuba, where he will examine and photograph the boat at La Finca Vigia, Hemingway's estate.

In 2005,even though the Pilar was not in the United States, the National Trust for Historic Preservation placed it on its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. Hemingway sailed the Pilar when he lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1960 and is said to have conceived some of his finest works, including "The Old Man and the Sea," while onboard. The Hemingway foundation is working with the Cuban government to preserve the Pilar as well as Finca Vigia and documents, photographs and books stored there amid concerns that the papers may eventually be damaged by warm, humid conditions.
