Alaska, a 229 gross ton steam fishing trawler, was built at Boothbay, Maine in 1881. She was chartered by the U.S. Navy in September 1918 and placed in commission at that time as USS Alaska (ID # 3035). Operating as a minesweeper and patrol vessel, she served in the Charleston, South Carolina, area during the remaining weeks of World War I and for a while afterwards. USS Alaska was returned to her owners in January 1919.
