It’s not a Disney flick but Forrest Gump (1994) is a rare perfect film. One of the pictures most important characters is on display at Downtown Disney – Forrest’s shrimpin’ boat the Jenny.
The boat is a classic Southern-style fishing vessel, she is docked outside Downtown Disney’s Planet Hollywood. Yes friends, that means you don’t have to venture inside to look at the locations best piece of memorabilia.
the Jenny in 2012, the boats masts have been removed.
Below is a picture of the Jenny prior to her masts being removed. The masts were removed to address the concern about lighting striking so close to guest areas, and they remain in storage at a maintenance building on Disney property.
The Jenny, seen outside Downtown Disney’s Planet Hollywood. This picture was taken before the boats were removed.
You forgot to mention that the Jenny began taking on water last year and has partially sunk! You can see the difference in where the water stops on the hull in the photographs above.
Truth – I did forget that. Thank you for reminding me!
