Diascond
(American Barge, 1896)

In port, possibly when inspected by the Fifth Naval District on 11 March 1918.
Built at Elkton, Maryland, in 1896, Diascond was owned by the Southern Transportation Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Assigned the registry ID # 2385, she was ordered to be taken over by the Navy on 4 May 1918. Renamed Coal Barge # 425 while in naval service, she was presumably returned to her owner sometime in 1919.
