Emmigrant (American Motor Boat, 1918)

Emmigrant, a 64-foot motor boat, was built in 1918 by Bloxom Brothers of Battery Park, Virginia. Owned by C.W. Dean of Norfolk, Virginia, in October 1918 she was inspected for possible Naval use, assigned the registry ID # 3436 and ordered taken over by the Fifth Naval District. However, the latter action was not carried out and Emmigrant remained in civilian hands.

This page features the only view we have concerning the motor boat Emmigrant of 1918.
