USS Isabel
(SP-521)

At sea on 29 June 1918, photographed from USS Fairmont (ID # 2429) by crewmember Grant S. Ray.
This "destroyer" (note torpedo tubes amidships), converted from a fast yacht, had received wartime credit for destroying at least one German submarine, though the U-Boat appears to have actually escaped. Isabel was built for Toledo, Ohio, automobile manufacturer John North Willys, not for a member of the Vanderbilt family.

Collection of Grant S. Ray.
