USS Maud (SP-1009), 1917-1919.
Originally civilian motor boat Maud

USS Maud, a 50-foot patrol craft, was originally the civilian motor boat Maud, which had been built sometime prior to 1913 and remodeled in that year. Leased from her owner and commissioned in June 1917, she served in the Norfolk, Virginia, area during the World War I years on dispatch, patrol and other duties. With patrol boat requirements greatly reduced after the 11 November 1918 Armistice, Maud was returned to her owner in January 1919.

This page features our only view of USS Maud (SP-1009) and the motor boat Maud.
