Sea Tag (or Seatag), a 51-foot motor pleasure boat, was built at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1917. She was leased by the Navy in July and placed in commission as USS Sea Tag (SP-505) early in August 1917. For the rest of World War I the craft served on the Great Lakes, primarily in the vicinity of Detroit, Michigan. She was decommissioned in November 1918 and returned to her owner in March 1919.
This page features our only view of the motor boat Sea Tag, which was USS Sea Tag (SP-505) during World War I.

Note: The Ships' Histories Branch of the Naval Historical
Center holds another photograph, purportedly of Sea Tag underway prior to her Navy service. However, the craft in the view differs in detail from that seen above, and the image is almost identical to one we have of the motor boat Rhebal, which was constructed by the same builder as Sea Tag. |
