USS Inca (SP-1212)
(center, with her name penned on the photograph)
Probably photographed circa July 1917, while undergoing conversion
for Navy service.
The boat at right is of identical design to Inca, and
that at the left is the motor boat Needle, of Boston,
which became USS Needle (SP-649). Some of the four craft
in the background already are flying Navy jacks and are fitted
with guns.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
