USS Arcturus (SP-182)
In an icy port, circa 1917-1919.
Built in 1911, the motor boat Arcturus was acquired by
the Navy on 25 May 1917 and commissioned as USS Arcturus
(SP-182) on 18 August 1917. Her name was changed to SP-182
in 1918 to avoid confusion with another vessel. She was sold
on 3 November 1919.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
