Old Colony
(American Coastal Passenger Steamer, 1907)

Probably photographed about 1917.
This steamship was acquired by the Navy on 12 November 1917 as USS Old Colony (SP-1254), with the intention of transferring her to the British Navy. She sailed from Boston, Massachusetts, on 16 November and was turned over to the Royal Navy upon arrival in the United Kingdom. Commissioned as HMS Old Colony in June 1918, she was sold in March 1920.

The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
