USS Edith M. III, a 59-foot motor boat, was built in 1909 at Croton-on-the-Hudson, New York, as a civilian craft. She was purchased by the Navy and placed in commission in June 1917. For the rest of World War I she served in the New York Harbor area on transportation duties. Edith M. III was decommissioned in May 1919 and sold in early July of that year.
