Viking (American Steam Yacht, 1909)
Halftone reproduction of a photograph of Viking in harbor,
prior to World War I. This yacht was surveyed for possible Navy
First World War service and assigned the "Section Patrol"
registry number SP-618, but was not taken over.
She has been confused in some sources with another Viking,
a motor boat without a "SP" number, and was erroneously
listed as Naval late in 1918.
The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
U.S. Naval Historical Center Photograph.
