Western Flyer (boat) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Western Flyer (boat) The ''Western Flyer'' is a boat most famous for its six-week use by John Steinbeck in his 1940 Sea of Cortez (Gulf of California) expedition that became the basis for his 1951 book ''The Log from the Sea of Cortez''. Called the "most famous fishing vessel ever to have sailed," the boat was built in Tacoma, Washington in 1937 by the Western Boat Building Company. As of 2015, the privately owned boat is undergoing renovation in Port Townsend, Washington for future use as an educational center in Monterey, California. ==Sea of Cortez==
Steinbeck chartered the ''Western Flyer'', then captained by fisherman Tony Berry, and put out to sea on the afternoon of March 11, 1940. The vessel started the trip to the Sea of Cortez in a leisurely fashion down the Pacific coast. The boat refueled at San Diego and on March 17 passed Point San Lazaro before making its way down the Pacific side of the Baja California peninsula. It put in at Cabo San Lucas, on the tip of the peninsula, where Steinbeck began collecting specimens.
