The 50-foot motor boat St. Sebastian, which had been built before World War I at St. Sebastian, Florida, was acquired by the Navy in June 1917. Placed in commission in August of that year as USS St. Sebastian (SP-470), she was subsquently employed in Florida waters as a patrol boat. The craft was destroyed by a hurricane at Key West while awaiting sale in September 1919.
