Anton Dohrn, a 71-foot motor boat, was built in 1911 at Miami, Florida, for use as a pleasure craft. Leased by the Navy at the end of July 1917 for a dollar a year, she was placed in commission in early October 1917 as USS Anton Dohrn (SP-1086) and served as a patrol craft along Florida's northeastern coast for the the remainder of World War I. In early January 1919, less than two months after the Armistice ended the fighting, Anton Dohrn was returned to her owner.
This page features our only views of the motor boat Anton Dohrn, which served as USS Anton Dohrn (SP-1086) during World War I.
