Gratitude, a 214 gross ton harbor freight and passenger steamer, was built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1880. In April 1918 she was acquired by the Navy from Bennett's North Carolina Line of Norfolk, Virginia, and given registry ID # 3054. Following several months' service in the vicinity of Hampton Roads, Virginia, with a civilian crew, she was given a Navy crew in October 1918 and continued her work supporting Fifth Naval District facilities and Navy ships. USS Gratitude was returned to her owner in mid-September 1919.
