Ellen
(U.S. Motor Boat, 1917)

Photographed in 1917, shortly before she was acquired by the U.S. Navy for use as a patrol boat.
One of nine 62' 4" boats built by Herreshoff of Bristol, Rhode Island, specifically for patrol service, she was acquired by the Navy on 21 July 1917 and commissioned on 2 August as USS Ellen (SP-1209).
It is possible that this photograph actually shows Inca (later USS Inca (SP-1212), as it was used on the record cards for both Ellen and Inca.

The original print is mounted on the "SP" record card for this vessel.
