Raymond Humphreys (American Fishing Vessel, in service circa 1940-1941)

Raymond Humphreys, a steam fishing vessel of the "menhaden" pattern, was in service circa 1940-1941, with a homeport of Ocran, Virginia. She was apparently inspected by the U.S. Navy at that time, probably for use as a coastal minesweeper, but was not taken into service.

This page features the only views we have of the fishing vessel Raymond Humphreys.
