since two of the most iconic figures of their time met in the small Cuban fishing village of Cojimar, just 8 kilometres east of Havana, and local residents will never forget about the historic encounter that took place at the height of the Cold War.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was 50 years ago this May that Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro and American Nobel laureate Ernest Hemingway met for the first and only time.\u003cbr/\u003eEarly in 1950, a group of fishermen from Cojimar asked the American writer, whom they affectionately nicknamed \"Papa\", to collaborate with a fishing tournament that would later carry his name.\u003cbr/\u003eHemingway lived in nearby Havana, and was a regular visitor to the town, where he kept his beloved boat \"Pilar\" docked next to the fort built by Spaniards hundreds of years ago to protect the entrance of the bay.\u003cbr/\u003eTen years later, in 1960, fresh from having triumphed with his revolution the year before, Fidel Castro participated in the local fishing tournament and won.\u003cbr/\u003eThe winning trophy was handed to Castro by Hemingway in what is known to be their first and only encounter. \u003cbr/\u003eThis town remembers Fidel and Papa devotedly and recalls how Papa's favorite bar and watering hole was \"La Terraza\", a seafood restaurant with a view of the sea and passing fishing boats.\u003cbr/\u003eThe restaurant maintains a cordon around the table where Castro and Hemingway had lunch all those years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eCastro returned for lunch in 2002 accompanied by American film director Oliver Stone.\u003cbr/\u003e\"La Terraza\" has become somewhat of a shrine to Castro and Hemingway, and its walls are covered in photographs from that unforgettable day in 1960 when they visited.\u003cbr/\u003eCojimar is the place where Hemingway gathered his inspiration to write \"The Old Man and the Sea,\" after he met some of the old timers of Cojimar and listened intently to their seafaring tales, over drinks.\u003cbr/\u003eHemingway's novella, 'The Old Man and the Sea', published in 1952, was set in Cuba, and tells the tale of an old Cuban fisherman.\u003cbr/\u003eIt would earn Hemingway the 1953 Pulitzer Prize and, later, the Nobel Prize for Literature.\u003cbr/\u003eTourists travel from the four corners of the world to get a glimpse of \"La Terraza\", with its beautiful views of the sea from its windows.\u003cbr/\u003eBefore heading out to sea, the fishermen pass in front of Cojimar's monument to Hemingway, making sure that future generations will always remember Hemingway.\u003cbr/\u003eThe bust sits prominently in the town's square overlooking the bay.\u003cbr/\u003eIt was commissioned one year after his death and is made entirely of bronze propellers donated by the local fishermen and melted down to create the sculpture. \u003cbr/\u003eIn November 2002, Fidel Castro visited Hemingway's former home in Havana, the Finca de Vigia (Lookout Farm in Spanish), along with Hemingway's granddaughter, Hillary Hemingway, and signed accords with U.S. scholars to preserve the author's letters and manuscripts left at the home.\u003cbr/\u003eAmerican and Cuban experts collaborate on the restoration and preservation of 2,000 letters, 3,000 personal photographs and some draft fragments of novels and stories that were kept in the humid basement of Finca Vigia.\u003cbr/\u003eFunded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the joint effort by the New York-based Social Science Research Council and the Cuban National Council of Patrimony produces mircofilm copies of the material, restores some documents damaged by the Caribbean climate, and helps conserve the house, including a 9,000-volume library and Hemingway's fishing boat, \"Pilar\". \u003cbr/\u003eThe microfilm copies are stored at the John F. Kennedy Library in Boston, but originals stay at the Hemingway Museum at Finca Vigia, long a source of pride for Cuba. \u003cbr/\u003eHemingway's fourth and last wife, Mary Welsh Hemingway, donated the estate to the Cuban government in 1961, just after the author committed suicide in his Ketchum, Idaho, home.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Islands in the Stream\" and \"A Moveable Feast\" were among material Mary Welsh Hemingway retrieved during her trip to Havana in 1961. The two works were published posthumously.  \u003cbr/\u003eErnest Hemingway may have left Cuba in the early days of the revolution, never to return, and Fidel Castro hasn't been seen in public in almost four years, but in the hearts of the people of Cojimar it is clear that they are still here.\u003cbr/\u003eCojimar - 28 April 2010\u003cbr/\u003e1.
