Old Dominion (American Seagoing Barge, 1872).
Served as USS Old Dominion (ID # 3025) in 1917-1919
Old Dominion, a 1802 gross ton seagoing barge, had been
built as a steamship at Wilmington, Delaware, in 1872. The U.S.
Navy acquired her in October 1917 and the following August placed
her in service as USS Old Dominion (ID # 3025). She was
employed transporting coal along the U.S. East Coast during the
remaining months of World War I and into the post-war era. Old
Dominion was inactivated in April 1919 and sold in October
of that year.
This page features our only views of the barge Old Dominion
and of USS Old Dominion (ID # 3025).
