American Fishing Vessels
Tied up together, possibly while under consideration for U.S.
Navy service, circa 1918-1919.
One of these "menhaden fishermen" is Dolphin
(built as Virginia in 1908), which was reported as having
been commissioned on 7 February 1919 as USS Dolphin (SP-318).
She was, however, not actually taken over by the Navy.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
