Dolphin (American Fishing Vessel, 1908)
In port, possibly circa 1918-1919, when under consideration for
U.S. Navy service.
This "menhaden fisherman", originally named Virginia,
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.
