June 1944. Fish and Wildlife Service from 1944 Returning to her FWS name, Kittiwake spent the rest of 1944 undergoing renovations to prepare her to return to fishery patrol duty during the fishing season in 1945. Sometime between 1945 and 1948, the FWS decommissioned and sold her. Later career By 1948, the vessel had returned to her original name, Raeo, and was owned by Duwamish Shipyard, Inc, in Seattle, classified as a fishing vessel. In 1957, a Washington boat service company, Tacoma Boat Mart, acquired her and renamed her Harbor Queen. Until 1997, she operated as Harbor Queen in Puget Sound under five different owners as a passenger, charter, and tour boat, home-ported at various times at Tacoma, Seattle and La Conner, Washington. In 1998, the vessel was sold at Seattle. Her new owners renamed her Entiat Princess and removed her upper decks so she could be transported to Wenatchee, Washington, where they had her converted into a sternwheeler. As of 2009, the 101-year-old Entiat Princess was in service on the Columbia River, providing dinner cruises, charters, and tours.
