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.
