Adelante (American Tug, ex-Yacht, 1883)
In port circa 1914-17, prior to her World War I naval service.

named Utowana.
Acquired by the Navy on 25 August 1918, she was later commissioned
as USS Adelante (SP-765). After the completion of her
Navy service, she was stricken on 27 September 1919 and sold
on 25 March 1920.
Note the towing fittings on her afterdeck.
