Taniwha, a 112-foot section patrol craft, was built in 1909 at Neponset, Massachusetts, for use as a pleasure craft. She was leased by the Navy for World War I service and commissioned in May 1917. For the next two years Taniwha was employed in the vicinity of New York City. She was decommissioned in April 1919 and returned to her owner.
