Congress, a 50-foot 8-inch motor fishing boat, was built at Gwynn, Virginia, in 1914. She was acquired by the Navy from A. Foster of Grimstead, Virginia, in October 1918 and commissioned as USS Congress (ID # 3698). During the next year she was employed as a patrol craft in the waters of the Fifth Naval District. Congress was sold in September 1919 and delivered to her purchaser, Sallie S. Thorns of West Norfolk, Virginia, in December of that year.
