Wellesnet.com fields many questions from Orson Wellles’ fans, but our most recent query was quite intriguing.

“I have located a 43-foot wooden sailing boat for sale in Croatia. The sellers say that the boat was used in the filming of an Orson Welles movie in early 70s… for some reason the film was never brought to cinemas. Is this story true? Do you know anything about that?”

The film in question would likely be “The Deep,” but is this the actual boat from that unfinished thriller? I have forwarded production photographs from the Wellesnet archives to the interested buyer.

Do any of our Wellesnet readers have specifics on the boat used in the production. If so, please forward the information to contactwellesnet@gmail.com
