Sabalo (American Motor Yacht, 1916).
Served as USS Sabalo (SP-225) in 1917-1919

Sabalo, a 204 gross ton motor yacht, was built in 1916 by George Lawley & Sons of Neponset, Massachusetts. She was acquired by the Navy in May 1917 and placed in commission in July as USS Sabalo (SP-225). Following World War I service in the New York Harbor area, she was returned to her owner, W. Earl Dodge of New York City, in early March 1919.

This page features all the views we have concerning the yacht Sabalo and USS Sabalo (SP-225).
