Liberty # 3, a schooner-rigged pilot boat, was built in 1896 at Gloucester, Massachusetts. The Navy acquired her in September 1917 from the Boston Pilots Relief Society and placed her in commission in that month as USS Liberty # 3 (SP-1229). Through the rest of World War I, she served as a harbor entrance patrol boat off Boston, Massachusetts. Liberty # 3 was decommissioned in January 1919 and returned to her owner.
This page features our only views of the pilot boat Liberty # 3, which served as USS Liberty # 3 (SP-1229) in 1917-1919.
