As an sarcastic inside joke the boat was named for Newton N. Minow The former head of the FCC who is famous for his 1961 speech referring to television as a “vast wasteland”.
Did you know that the tune to the Gilligan’s Island theme is the same meter as Amazing Grace? Yeah, you can sing the Amazing Grace text to the TV show theme. Try it … you’re doing it, aren’t you?
