Trivia: What ship delivered the group to “Gilligan’s Island”?
S.S. Minnow
S.S. Orca
S.S. Reliable
S.S. Gilligan
The correct answer is S.S. Minnow
So why is this answer correct? : Originally scheduled for a three-hour tour, the escapades of the crew and passengers of the doomed S.S. Minnow provided laughs for three seasons throughout the ‘60s (and several decades later in syndication). Producer Sherwood Schwartz named the ill-fated vessel as a swipe at then-FCC chairman Newton Minow, who declared TV “a vast wasteland.”
