Sister (Harbor Steamer, 1882).
Served as USS Sister (SP-822) in 1917-1920

Sister, a 72-foot harbor steam boat built in 1882 and based at Madisonville, Louisiana, was taken over by the Navy in June 1917 and placed in commission as USS Sister (SP-822). For the remainder of World War I and for several months after the Armistice, she operated in the Eighth Naval District as a tug and freight boat. Sister was stricken from the Navy list in June 1919 and sold in October 1920.

This page features all the views we have of the steam boat Sister, which served as USS Sister (SP-822) in 1917-1920.
