Regis II, a 45-foot motor boat, was built in 1902 for use as a pleasure craft. She was loaned to the Navy for World War I service in July 1917. For the rest of the conflict she operated as USS Regis II (SP-1083) in the vicinity of Hampton Roads and the lower Chesapeake Bay. The boat was returned to her owner in January 1919.
This page features our only views of the motor boat Regis II, which served as USS Regis II (SP-1083) during World War I.

Note: The Ships' Histories Branch of the Naval Historical
Center holds one other photograph of the motor boat Regis
II, taken prior to World War I. This view was taken from
off her starboard bow, while she was tied up in port. The left
edge of the image has been cropped short, eliminating the boat's
stern. |
