20
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:01.760
A complete klutz, Gilligan was the
naive and well meaning first mate whose

21
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:08.240
bumbling antics frequently got the castaways into

Gilligan's mistakes, the Skipper cared deeply for

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:40.120
his little buddy and the other castaways. His authority and sailing skills were respected

thinking, the Professor concocted everything from bamboo

00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:13.639
radios to electric generators from the island's
limited resources. Despite his intellectual prowess,

the SS Minnow became one of the
most iconic fictional ships in television history.
