Fabulous fabulous man.

I'm more of a Stingray but the Wild Goose is good too

How do you contact Bert?

Just great guys thanks.

Super fantastic! Thanks.❤

Started the beginning of 63', October, lol

Diversity at it's best 🤔. Sad times in the USA.

Fabulous interview. John Wayne will always be a hero

You should take a tour when all the cameras are turned off then you'll see their true colors hiding behind the color of law😂.

His type of acting was natural. What you see is what you get. A heck of a lot more entertaining than most of the so called actors we have today. RIP Sir. 5:41

my dad albert dundas ayers, was on the first btitish built minesweeper mms1 built at richards iron works lowestoft. i have a photo of the launching..

Good stuff

Otto Preminger brought me here.

Newport Beach is one of the safest cities, because you have Mike Tyson living there now. 🥺😀

Beautiful

Who knew that the liberal cancel culture would use that Walter interview to smear a great man in his last days. Shameful but Duke will persevere through time. The greatest movie star and a great American!

Bert Minshull sounds like a scouser - the woman was English too. [Just like to say the assassination of JFK was a major news event in the UK and he was mourned deeply.]

Great job on the interview, very interesting, and what a beautiful old boat.

Google -John Wayne Todd Wolf- i done a voice over as John Wayne for thier family but permit didnt go throw. Tawolf is my stage name.

In the early 1960's to '71, my Grandad lived on Lido Isle just down the way from where the Wild Goose was berthed. As a wee lad I used to walk by the ship on my way home, hoping to get a glimpse of The Duke. To my dismay, I never got to meet him.

Loved it

The Duke in person is gone and now the libs want to tare his statue down and rename the airport.

Joe Biden 2020 ! Let's go Thumbs up 🎺 Let's go ! Defund police 🚔!

They don't make guys like this anymore, ship captain, carpenter this guy seems like he could do it all back in his prime.

shame they couldn't afford a second mic we wouldn't have missed half of what Bert said lol

Great tour but some clarificatiom is in order. Capt Harold Jones, owner of the Black Ball Ferry Line in Seattle/Vancouver BC, acquired the surplus USN minesweeper In the early 1950’s. His daughter, was Beverly, hence the ship was re-christened La Beverie. In 1956, my dad’s friend and associate, Capt Jones invited our family to cruise the Inside Passage with him from Vancouver. So, at the age of 9, we spent a week on board. My sister and I even managed to somehow loose a fitting for the fuel bunker overboard in Vancouver Harbor. About 10 years later, while sailing with a college pal in Newport Bay, we came across a mega-yacht that seemed somewhat familiar. My friend chided that I couldn’t possibly know this vessel. A crew member on-board, (I think it might have been Capt Hinshall,sic) hailed us and asked if we were ok. I responded that his vessel reminded me of La Beverie, to which he laughed and said that it indeed was the “Bev”, but it was now the Wild Goose. We were allowed to board, but stayed topside, and the Captain confirmed that the fantail had been enclosed with wraparound glass, and the Ceilings raised for John Wayne, the owner. I was stunned by the coincidence. It was wonderful to see the interiors in your video, especially the quarters which we had not had access or see then. Phillipe Cousteau, a passing acquaintance, on hearing my tale, confirmed that his father’s research vessel, Calypso, was La Beverie’s sister ship. It too had been constructed at the Ballard Naval Shipyards during WWII. Small World

What surprised me most in this interview was how early the Duke went to bed. He must have been an early riser. I met the Duke once in 1978 when I was a young Marine in his front yard, I forgot the small talk. I knew the kid that lived next door. Also, I,ve been to his boyhood home in Iowa. He came from common roots. He was an Ameican success story, He was not raised with a silver spoon. From a nobody to a somebody, this is why he related so well with common people. He was not my favorite actor, James Garner was the man. :)

The wild goose was a United States Navy minesweeper from ww2. John Wayne had her converted to a yacht. This is a real ship. One goof referred to it as a house boat. That is inaccurate this is a converted navy ship the real deal like John wayne

ditto

ditto.

you need to learn how to use that mic

you need to learn how to use the mic.

hard interview with the little cap,,he looks like hes leaning back,,plus he talks very low

I used to live in Garden Grove and on the way to the sea there was a fish store where from John Wayne's ship, fish and sea food was brought. The deal was they would smoke half the fish and keep the rest for payment. After the Duke passed away they went out of business. I bought Abalone once, but the price was very high at that time, early 60's, and $20 a pound, so I only bought it once. Broke my heart when John Wayne passed away and again when the Fish Store was gone too.

rumor has it he’s still in the cell to this day....

People like John Wayne personify America's greatness. This is a country where you can be an average person without a wealthy upbringing and become world famous actor, entertainer, athlete etc.

6/2020 The Duke had a beautiful Yacht 🚤

You didnt show the insane california cancer warning notice under the ships name at the gangplank.. Only in cali would you have to have a sign like this on a classic ship.

Question...I see a pipe holder in his bedroom anyone know weather he smoked a pipe what type and tobacco.... thank you

If I am ever in Newport News, first place I'm going is to go see that boat.

Corrupt department. youtu(dot)be/Vybt0VHRj_k

My brother moved to California in1975 and after getting his scuba certification worked for the company that would clean the barnacles off of the hull while it was in the harbor..he saw the great man once while working on the boat and said hello....

WWll MINESWEEPER TURNED INTO JOHN WAYN'ES PRIVATE YACHT 1963-79

Wow, this was great. I can almost smell the nicotine stained walls from here.

Kennedy being shot didn’t mean shit to me ! Being English? Wtf if I was making my living in England and the Queen was shot ! And the Englishman next to me started crying over it ! I’d be bothered ! I’d be bothered if something happened to her I’d be bothered! Our beloved President has just been blown away and he could give a shit less ? , ! I’m sure if the Duke was alive and heard him make that statement he’d throw him overboard!

The Duke had exquisite taste.

Seen him on TV when I was a kid. Never struck me he enjoyed playing bridge and messing about on a bridge.
