Trivia

 * One of the sillier epsiodes. When the Skipper tries to show on the map where they are located, it's the other castaways who mess up their chances of rescue when everyone except Gilligan try to point out the most important places on the map, all except the island! (Mr Howell tries to claim Fort Knox, Ginger tries to claim Hollywood, Mary Ann tries to claim Washington DC, and the Professor tries to show the ocean currents from Peru while Mrs. Howell tries to show off for her friends back home!)
 * It is revealed the costumes come from "South Sea Productions," and the yacht belonged to Silent movie actress Fifi La France and her husband Ricardo Laughingwell who apparently sailed away on their honeymoon and supposedly became lost at sea, the yacht sinking in the lagoon. Fifi and her husband's fate is unrecorded except for the remark that they had sailed away to the South Pacific on their honeymoon.
 * It is theoretical that the crate belonging to the Great Raftini (It's Magic) and Ginger's USO costumes (Gilligan the Goddess) also originated from the yacht.
 * Several Silent Movie actors are mentioned, including Charlie Chaplin, Theda Barra, Rudolph Valentino and Mary Pickford.
