Concrete Barge # 1, a 650-ton (cargo capacity) open barge, was built in 1918 by C. Blankeley of Yonkers, New York. She was inspected by the Third Naval District in April 1918 and assigned Navy registry ID # 2531. Chartered in September of that year, she was renamed Coal Barge # 516 during her Navy service, which ended when she was returned to her owner in October 1919.
