zaca yacht errol flynn

Started building in 1928 and finished in 1930.   Garland Rotch (designer) was largely inspired by the famous Bluenose schooners.   Originally commissioned by Templeton Crooker, a Yale educated San Francisco banker.   Zaca went around the world twice on scientific expeditions due to the owners interest in Marine Biology.  Crooker then joined the war effort and sold Zaca to the U.S. Navy for $40,000.   Zaca was then painted requisition gray-blue, fitted with 20mm guns and a crew of 35 sailors.

In 1945 Errol Flynn discovered her, and bought her in 1946.   He invested $80,000 towards her restoration:  new masts, repainting etc.   In 1952 Flynn died while trying to sell Zaca to pay off his debts … In 1988 Zaca ended up sinking in the port of Beaulieu.

1991 Roberto Memmo bought the wreck, refloated her and she was restored in IMS shipyard in Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, near Toulon.   Officially rechristened by Memmo on 22nd September 1994.

I Can't Believe It's NonFiction

A collection of strange, but true, stories…

Built in 1930, the Zaca is a wooden yacht commissioned by Templeton Crocker.

Templeton spent much of the next 10 years traveling the world on his boat. He was a scientist and left much of his research to the California Academy of Sciences.

During World War II, the Zaca was acquired by the United States Navy and used to rescue the crews of downed American planes until 1944.

Actor Errol Flynn purchased the Zaca in 1946. He owned the vessel until his death in 1959.

The yacht sat docked and rotting until 1965 in Villefranche, France.

In 2008, Roberto Memmo purchased the Zaca and completely restored the vessel.

Visitors to the Zaca claim that it is haunted by the ghost of Errol.

Errol was born June 20, 1909 to Theodore and Marelle Flynn in Tasmania, Australia.

He often described his mother’s family as seafarers and had a lifelong fascination with boating.

In 1926, he was expelled from school for theft. When asked about it later in life, he would claim instead that he had an affair with a female employee of the school.

Errol found a job as a junior clerk in Sydney, Australia, but was fired for stealing money.

His first film role was In the Wake of the Bounty in 1933 and sparked his interest in acting. He went to Europe to study acting shortly after the film was released.

He tried his hand at stage acting, but was fired from the Northampton Repertory after throwing a female stage manager down the stairs.

Errol’s performance in Murder at Monte Carlo led to a trip to Los Angeles, California and a contract with Warner Bros. Pictures.

He married Lili Damita in 1935. The marriage lasted 7 years. The couple had a son named Sean. Sean was an actor, as well, before becoming a journalist. Sean was declared dead in 1984 after disappearing in Vietnam.

In 1938, Errol starred in his most famous role as Robin Hood in The Adventures of Robin Hood.

In 1942, two 17 year old girls accused Errol of statutory rape. He was acquitted in 1943, but his reputation was forever tarnished.

That same year he married Nora Eddington. The marriage lasted 6 years.

He married Patrice Wymore in 1950 and the couple remained married, even if just on paper, until his death.

Warner Bros. terminated their contract with Errol in 1953. He made 35 films in the 18 years he was under contract.

Errol became known for living a hard and fast life. He drank and smoked and was popular with women. The expression “in like Flynn” became popular after his acquittal of the statutory rape charges.

Errol was just as fast and loose with his finances and often found himself broke.

Needing to make some quick money, Errol flew with 17 year old Beverly Aadland to Vancouver, British Columbia in October 1959 to lease the Zaca to a man named George Caldough.

Before he could catch his flight home, Errol complained of pain in his back and legs. He was taken to the home of a doctor who was friends with George. The doctor treated Errol for pain and told him to rest.

Errol lost consciousness in a bedroom of the doctor’s home and was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he died on October 14 at the age of 50.

His official cause of death was heart failure with cirrhosis of the liver as a contributing factor.

His ghost is said to be seen walking the deck of the Zaca at night.

Garland Rotch ZACA

Wartime designation: (IX-73)

Type: Two-Masted Gaff Schooner

ZACA Specifications:

LOA: 118’0″ / 35.96m – LWL: 95’11″ / 29.23m – Beam: 23’9″ / 7.23m – Draft: 14’0” / 4.26m – Hull Number: – Designer: Garland Rotch – Original Owner: Templeton Crocker – Contract Cost: $200,000.00 – Current Owner: Roberto Memmo, Monaco – Year Launched: 1929 – Built By: Nunes Brothers Boat and Ways Co., Sausalito, California – Hull Material: Alaskan Cedar/Teak – Gross Displacement: 122 tons – In The Wake Of The Zaca: Video  

Historical:

118 foot Schooner “Zaca”, which means “peace” in Samoan, was designed by Garland Rotch and built by Nunes Brothers Boat and Ways Co., Sausalito, California, for Templeton Crocker (grandson of Charles Crocker, one of the “big four” who built the Central Pacific Railroad.) Zaca was Launched in 1929 and christened by Academy Award winner Marie Dressler. Crocker sponsored expeditions to Polynesia, traveled the world in his yacht and helped rejuvenate the California Historical Society. Garland Rotch was Zaca’s first captain and her maiden voyage in 1930 was the first time a private yacht circumnavigated the globe from the West Coast. The crew included, scientists, about a dozen professional sailors as well as a photographers. In 1941, every seaworthy private yacht over 75′ was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy. Templeton Crocker was paid just $35,000 for his beloved $350,000 schooner. Zaca was never renamed, except in World War II where she was “IX-73”

In 1946 Zaca was purchased by Errol Flynn who proceeded to do a full, much needed restoration and de-militarization. The Zaca was Errol Flynn’s pride and joy throughout the years of ownership until October 14th, 1959 the day he passed away. What followed was a horrendous crime! Errol Flynn’s estate was for 14 years in probate totally inexcusable. The Zaca suffered dreadfully – she was so badly abused and suffered outrageous indignities during this time.. She was sold, she was stolen, she was robbed of all her values, respect and distinctions. She was left to decompose! But as Errol was a survivor, so was the Zaca she held out til one day her rescuer Roberto Memmo found and restored her to more than her former glory!

World War II Service

zaca yacht errol flynn

Due to the need for local patrol and rescue craft in the busy waters in the San Francisco area during World War II, the schooner was acquired by the Navy from Templeton Crocker on 12 June 1942. Placed in service on 19 June 1942 and assigned to the Western Sea Frontier, Zaca, classified a miscellaneous auxiliary and designated IX-73 operated as a plane-guard ship, standing ready to rescue the crews of any planes downed nearby.

Eventually relieved by the frigates (PF’s) of Escort Squadron 41, Zaca was placed out of service at Treasure Island, California on 6 October 1944; and her name was struck from the Navy list on 13 November 1944.

I have my own knowledge of the story of MANUEL INÁCIO NUNES, owner of the CIA – NUNES BROS. in Sausalito, builder of the schooner ZACA in 1929. I am Portuguese, from the Azores Islands, born in the place of Santo Amaro, where MANUEL INÁCIO NUNES was born, and from where he emigrated to the USA in 1897. Given that the AZORES islands are today a famous tourist destination, especially for their superb natural beauty, their preserved environment and excellent marinas, I would like to ask, to those entitled, what is the chance of visiting the mythical ZACA on a tourist trip? being able to climb these islands, thus paying homage to their builder.

Errol Flynn's Love for Jamaica: A Hollywood Legend's Island Paradise

Errol Flynn, the swashbuckling Hollywood star known for his roles in films like Captain Blood  and The Adventures of Robin Hood , found his own personal paradise in the lush, tropical landscape of Jamaica. Flynn's deep affection for the island is a captivating tale of a larger-than-life personality who fell in love with the beauty, culture, and people of Jamaica.

The Discovery of a Tropical Haven

Errol Flynn first arrived in Jamaica somewhat by accident. In 1942, while sailing his yacht, the Zaca, from California to the Caribbean, Flynn and his crew encountered rough seas and were forced to take refuge in Port Antonio, a small town on the northeastern coast of Jamaica. This unexpected detour marked the beginning of Flynn's lifelong love affair with the island.

Flynn was immediately enchanted by the natural beauty of Jamaica. The lush green hills, pristine beaches, and vibrant culture captivated him, and he quickly decided to make the island his second home. Unlike many celebrities who sought the glamor of places like Montego Bay, Flynn was drawn to the relatively untouched and serene Port Antonio, which offered a sense of tranquility and escape from the pressures of Hollywood.

A Hollywood Star's Caribbean Sanctuary

Flynn's connection to Jamaica deepened when he purchased the Navy Island, a small island located just off the coast of Port Antonio. Navy Island became Flynn's personal retreat, where he entertained friends, hosted lavish parties, and enjoyed the seclusion that the island offered. He also bought several properties on the mainland, including a waterfront home known as the Titchfield Hotel.

Flynn's presence in Jamaica was more than just a celebrity escape. He immersed himself in the local culture and built strong relationships with the Jamaican people. He was known for his generosity and often involved himself in community activities, earning the affection and respect of the locals. Flynn's love for the island was genuine, and he made significant efforts to contribute to its development.

Impact on Port Antonio and Jamaican Tourism

Errol Flynn's love for Jamaica had a lasting impact on Port Antonio and the island's tourism industry. At the time, Port Antonio was a quiet, relatively unknown town, primarily known for its banana exports. Flynn's association with the area helped put Port Antonio on the map as a destination for travelers seeking an authentic Jamaican experience.

Flynn's influence attracted other celebrities and wealthy individuals to Port Antonio, contributing to its development as a tourist destination. His properties, including the Navy Island and Titchfield Hotel, became popular spots for visitors looking to experience the charm and beauty that Flynn had discovered.

In addition to boosting tourism, Flynn also contributed to the local economy by providing employment opportunities for Jamaicans. He hired local workers for various projects, including the maintenance of his properties and the operation of his yacht, the Zaca. Flynn's presence in Port Antonio created a sense of excitement and opportunity, fostering a positive relationship between the Hollywood star and the local community.

Flynn's Adventures and Contributions to Jamaican Culture

Errol Flynn was known for his adventurous spirit, and his time in Jamaica was filled with thrilling exploits and memorable experiences. He often explored the island's natural wonders, from its lush rainforests to its stunning waterfalls. Flynn's adventurous nature was matched by his love for the sea, and he spent much of his time sailing, fishing, and diving in the crystal-clear waters surrounding Jamaica.

One of Flynn's notable contributions to Jamaican culture was his promotion of rafting on the Rio Grande River. Inspired by the local practice of transporting bananas down the river on bamboo rafts, Flynn saw the potential for this activity to become a unique and exciting tourist attraction. He popularized bamboo rafting as a leisurely and scenic way to experience the island's natural beauty, and it remains a popular activity for visitors to this day.

Flynn's passion for Jamaica also extended to its music and arts. He was a supporter of local musicians and artists, often inviting them to perform at his gatherings and events. Flynn's appreciation for Jamaican culture helped to foster a greater awareness and appreciation of the island's rich artistic heritage among his friends and associates.

Legacy and Lasting Influence

Errol Flynn's legacy in Jamaica endures long after his passing in 1959. His love for the island and its people left an indelible mark on Port Antonio and its surrounding areas. The properties he once owned, such as Navy Island and the Titchfield Hotel, continue to attract visitors who are intrigued by the stories of Flynn's life and adventures in Jamaica.

Flynn's impact on Jamaican tourism is still felt today. Port Antonio remains a sought-after destination for travelers looking to experience the authentic charm and natural beauty that captivated Flynn. The area's unspoiled beaches, lush landscapes, and warm hospitality offer a glimpse into the paradise that Flynn cherished.

In recognition of Flynn's contributions, the local community has preserved his memory through various tributes and landmarks. The Errol Flynn Marina in Port Antonio is named in his honor and serves as a reminder of his enduring connection to the island. The marina is a hub for yachting and sailing enthusiasts, reflecting Flynn's own love for the sea.

Errol Flynn's Cultural Impact and Representation

Flynn's love for Jamaica was not only about the natural beauty and adventure but also about his deep appreciation for the island's culture and people. He often spoke fondly of Jamaica in interviews and encouraged others to visit and experience its unique charm. Flynn's portrayal of Jamaica as a paradise helped to shape the island's image in the minds of many around the world.

In popular culture, Flynn's association with Jamaica has been immortalized in various forms. Books, documentaries, and films have chronicled his life and adventures on the island, highlighting his enduring love for Jamaica. These representations have contributed to the mystique and allure of Jamaica as a destination for those seeking beauty, adventure, and a sense of escape.

A Hollywood Legend's Island Legacy

Errol Flynn's love for Jamaica is a captivating story of a Hollywood legend who found his true paradise on a small Caribbean island. His deep affection for Jamaica, particularly Port Antonio, transformed the area into a sought-after destination and left a lasting legacy that continues to influence the island's tourism and culture.

Flynn's adventurous spirit, generosity, and appreciation for Jamaican culture endeared him to the local community and created a bond that endured throughout his life. His contributions to the development of Port Antonio, from promoting bamboo rafting on the Rio Grande to supporting local artists, reflect his genuine love for the island and its people.

Today, Errol Flynn's legacy lives on in the hearts of Jamaicans and the many visitors who are drawn to the island's natural beauty and cultural richness.
