Charlie Chaplin and Paulette Goddard with Tandem Bicycle, Avalon, 1940
Chaplin met Paulette Goddard while traveling to the island on film producer Joseph Schenck's yacht in 1932.
A year later, Charlie purchased the yacht Panacea, which was actually owned by Pauletta Goddard. They traveled to Catalina Island together for many years. The yacht was a gift to Pauletta.
Charlie Chaplin was an experienced fisherman and a member of the Avalon Tuna Club. Together, they would boat, dive, and fish around the islands. They even rode tandem bicycles around Avalon!
