Yo Ho (American Motor Boat, 1910).
Served as USS Yo Ho (SP-463) in 1917-1919

Yo Ho, a 46' 4" motor pleasure boat, was built in 1910 at Bath, Maine, by the Bath Marine Construction Company. Acquired by the Navy for World War I service, she was placed in commission in May 1917 as USS Yo Ho (SP-463) and operated in southern New England waters for the remainder of the conflict. Apparently Yo Ho did not complete her Naval career in good condition, as she was sold "for junk" in June 1919.

This page features the only views we have concerning the motor boat Yo Ho, which served as USS Yo Ho (SP-463) in 1917-1919.
