Wave
(American Fishing Vessel, 1912)

In port, prior to World War I. The "B" on her smokestack is the mark of her owner, the Bay State Fishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts.
This steam trawler, which had Navy registry ID # 1706, was ordered delivered for World War I service in June 1917 and again in June 1918. However, the Navy did not actually take her over, and she remained in the hands of her owner throughout the conflict.

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