Cohasset, a 5770 gross ton freighter, was built in 1918 by the Fore River Shipbuilding Corporation at Quincy, Massachusetts, as part of the Emergency Fleet Corporation's World War I merchant ship construction program. She was turned over to the Navy in early December 1918 and placed in commission at that time as USS Cohasset (ID # 3679). Assigned to the Naval Overseas Transportation Service, she made two round-trip voyages between the East Coast and France from mid-December 1918 to late April 1919. In May 1919 USS Cohasset was decommissioned and returned to the United States Shipping Board.
