Raymond Humphreys (American Fishing Vessel, in service
circa 1940-1941)
Raymond Humphreys, a steam fishing vessel of the "menhaden"
pattern, was in service circa 1940-1941, with a homeport of Ocran,
Virginia. She was apparently inspected by the U.S. Navy at that
time, probably for use as a coastal minesweeper, but was not taken
into service.
This page features the only views we have of the fishing
vessel Raymond Humphreys.
