Hopkins
(U.S. fishing boat, 1917)

Probably photographed off Norfolk, Virginia, in 1917. Note fish mounted atop her pilothouse, snappily dressed crewmen and mansions in the background.
Hopkins, whose relatively high speed of 10.4 knots is advertised on the sign describing her as "the fastest fish boat running between this city and the fish nets", was commissioned in the Navy on 3 October 1918 as USS Hopkins (ID # 3294). She was transferred to the War Department on 4 March 1920.

The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
