USS Edorea, a 137-foot 4-inch patrol vessel, was built in 1909 by George Lawley & Sons of Neponset, Massachusetts, as the 104 gross ton motor yacht Monaloa. Later renamed Edorea, she was leased by the Navy for World War I service and placed in commission in late July 1917. For the rest of World War I she was employed on escort and patrol duties in the Delaware Bay area. USS Edorea was decommissioned in December 1918 and returned to her owner.
