Terrier (American Motor Boat, circa 1917).
Served as USS Terrier (SP-960) in 1917-1919

Terrier, a 40-foot motor boat, was built in about 1917 at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, for a private owner. Intended for patrol work in connection with the National "Preparedness" movement, she was turned over to the Navy and placed in commission as USS Terrier (SP-960) at the beginning of June 1917. For the remainder of World War I, the craft was assigned to the Ninth Naval District for duty on Lake Michigan. Terrier was returned to her owner in March 1919.

This page features all the views we have of the motor boat Terrier, which was USS Terrier (SP-960) in 1917-1919.
