Carrie Clark (American Seagoing Barge, 1874).
Previously named Anna and Carrie M. Clark
Served as USS Carrie Clark (SP-1238) in 1917-1919
Carrie Clark (SP-1238), a 1298 gross ton seagoing barge,
was built in Maine in 1874. Prior to World
War I she was also named Anna and Carrie M. Clark.
In October 1917 the Navy purchased her from the Luckenbach Steamship
Company and, in November, placed her in commission as USS Carrie
Clark (SP-1238, probably later changed to ID # 1238). During
and after World War I she was employed as a coal barge by the
Fifth Naval District and the Naval Overseas Transportation Service.
Stricken from the Navy list in June 1919, Carrie Clark
was sold in September of that year.
This page features all the views we have concerning the
barge Carrie Clark, which served as USS Carrie Clark
(SP-1238) in 1917-1919.
