Elizabeth, a 55-foot motor pleasure boat built by the Gulf Fisheries Company of Galveston, Texas. Acquired by the U.S. Navy in October 1917 from her owner, W.L. Moody, Jr., of Galveston, she was placed in commission as USS Elizabeth (SP-1092) and later renamed SP-1092. For the remainder of World War I, she operated in the waters of the Eighth Naval District. The craft was wrecked at the mouth of the Brazos River, near Freeport, Texas, on 15 November 1918.
