The Wild Goose is a 136-foot converted World War II minesweeper that became the private yacht of actor John Wayne. Docked for many years in Newport Beach, California, the vessel is rumored to be haunted by Wayne himself. Crew members and visitors have reported the smell of his favorite cigar lingering in empty rooms, phantom footsteps in the corridors, and sudden cold spots in the staterooms. Today, the yacht is a listed historic landmark, blending Hollywood glamour with maritime ghost lore.
