Walker and Sons Inc. in Pascagoula.Doug Logan purchased the boat and brought her to the West Coast. Logan had the vessel rebuilt and converted to a crabber, later selling it to Richard Lemay. Gudjonsson, Gudmundsson, and Dan Gunn bought the boat in 1990. The partnership is now Gudjonssonand Gudmundsson.
