[1] According to Kevin Bailey,[2] "the most famous fishing vessel ever to have sailed", the 77-foot (23 m) Western Flyer was restored in Port Townsend, Washington.
The Flyer was captained by Anton "Tony" Berry, with crew members Tex Travis, Horace "Sparky" Enea, and "Tiny" Colletto.
After the second sinking, Kehoe transported the boat from Anacortes to Port Townsend, Washington to undergo refurbishment in preparation for relocation to Salinas.
[6] Gregg enlisted Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-Op to restore the vessel to its historic glory, while exceeding modern safety, technological, and environmental standards.
[7] On June 29, 2022, Western Flyer was relaunched after its restoration at Port Townsend was completed, and towed to Seattle to receive a new hybrid engine and further outfit, before returning to Monterey.
