Date is approximate; January-April 1938. From Atlantis cruise 74, a trip collecting fish specimens around Cuba.
Fuentes was a close friend of Ernest Hemingway, and was the first mate on Hemingway's boat, the Pilar, for many years. He is also considered to be one of the models for the character of Santiago in Hemingway's 'Old Man and the Sea'. Fuentes was brought aboard for the Atlantis cruise as part of team led by Luis Howell-Rivero of the University of Havana.
