Oneida (American Steam Yacht, 1897)
Laid up alongside a smaller yacht, prior to World War I.
Oneida was ordered taken over for U.S. Navy service abroad
on 14 July 1917 and assigned the identification number SP-432.
However, these orders were cancelled on 27 September 1917. The
photograph, showing her without a smokestack, suggests that she
was in poor condition, and thus unsuitable for Navy use.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.
