S.S. Mercurius (Dutch Freighter, 1909)
In port wearing Dutch neutrality markings, possibly when inspected
by the Third Naval District on 29 March 1918. She was in commission
as USS Mercurius (ID # 2516) from 30 April 1918 to 25
June 1919. This British-built ship had two of the distinctive
Dutch tall double masts, one of which is visible here.
