Pilar was Hemingway's boat. As part of the commission, Pilar was customized to include a ladder-back fighting chair and a wooden roller bar across the transom, which was lowered 12 inches to assist in bringing fish into the cockpit. Hemingway named the boat after the nickname he gave his second wife, Pauline.
