USS Charles Whittemore
(ID # 3232)

In port, probably at the time she was acquired for U.S. Navy service in August 1918. During August and September 1918 this schooner was briefly employed as a "decoy" ship, in an attempt to lure German U-boats into range of a submerged U.S. submarine. She was subsequently used along the East Coast for logistics support purposes.
