The only known photo showing all seven members of the Bad Penny crew was damaged. Sadly, one third of the picture was torn off; the heads and shoulders were missing from the four men in the top row.

​

Glen Mitchell, author of "A Bad Penny Always Comes Back,” asked the staff at Walkerville Publishing (publishers of this book) if they could possibly create a composite photo using other snapshots of the missing men.

 

Chuck Rees painstakingly recreated the photo using a variety of other photos. He even rebuilt the barracks behind the men.

Several copies of the photo were printed, then presented to crew members or their families.
