S.S. Evelyn
(American Freighter, 1912)

In port, probably at the time she was inspected for possible U.S. Navy service on 9 January 1918.
Though assigned the registry ID # 2228, Evelyn was not taken over by the Navy during World War I. In February 1942 she became USS Asterion (AK-100, later AK-63), which was employed as a "Q-ship" in 1942-1943. She also served on weather patrol duty during January-July 1944 as USCGC Asterion (WAK-123).
