This might be the fish that inspired putting a roller on the transom of the Pilar. It proves that you don't need a large cockpit "angler model" to land a large fish.

The Pilar is in covered "moorage," but the walkway around it is collapsing.
It does have a yacht club of sorts. Hemingway chose to do his drinking in Havana, a short cab ride away. It might have been this cab.
The small harbor where Hemingway kept the Pilar isn't very protected, there is no marina (or electricity), and scarce aids to navigation. On the other hand, it is fortified.

The Pilar, Earnest Hemingway's boat, is on display just east of Havana. Notice that this boat is a "cruising model" with a small cockpit. Still, that roller on the transom must be for something.
The harbor entrance had some mooring buoys, but I'd guess that they are all issued to these little fishing boats.
Havana harbor seemed to be entirely commercial.
