Ransom B. Fuller, a side-wheel steamer, was built at Bath, Maine in 1902. She was lengthened in 1910 for operations between Portland, Maine and Boston, Massachusetts. In November 1917 the Navy chartered the 2329-ton vessel for use as a floating barracks at New London, Connecticut. This brief service ended in April 1918, when she was returned to her owner, the Eastern Steamship Company. S.S. Ransom B. Fuller was reportedly scrapped in 1935.
