Mikawe, a 65-foot motor boat, was built at Bay City, Michigan in 1916 for use as a pleasure craft. The U.S. Navy purchased her in August 1917 and placed her in service as USS Mikawe (SP-309). She was employed as a patrol craft in the Great Lakes area during the World War I period and, in April 1919, was transferred to the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
