Albacore, a 50-foot 8-inch motor pleasure boat, was built at San Diego, California, in 1900. Acquired by the Navy in mid-1917, she was placed in commission as USS Albacore (SP-751). For the remainder of World War I the craft was used for section patrol work by the 12th Naval District. She was returned to her owner in March 1919.
