Daraga (American Motor Boat, 1915).
Served as USS Daraga (SP-43) in 1917-1921.

Daraga, a 72.5-foot motor boat, was built in 1915 by the Camden Anchor & Rockland Machine Company as a pleasure craft. In April 1917 she was acquired by the Navy from Stuart Davis, of Southampton, New York, and placed in commission as USS Daraga (SP-43). Employed for patrol and support service at Newport, Rhode Island, for the rest of World War I, she remained in Navy hands well after the November 1918 Armistice. Daraga was ordered appraised for sale in December 1920 and was sold in July 1921.

This page features the only views we have concerning the motor boat Daraga, which was USS Daraga (SP-43) in 1917-1921.
