More trivia (via IMDB): The ship's name, S. S. Minnow, was not named for the fish but rather for Newton Minow, head of the FCC in 1961. Minow was the one who called television "America's vast wasteland".

How about this one to add to your fleet? I know, I know, it's not a Hinckley. But you could get it delivered out to Maine & they could make it a Hinckley!
