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.
