USS Patrol # 5 (SP-29), 1917-1919

Patrol # 5, a 40-foot motor boat built at Lynn, Massachusetts in 1916, was purchased by the Navy in April 1917 and commissioned soon afterwards as USS Patrol # 5 (SP-29). She operated in the Newport, Rhode Island, area for the rest of World War I. No longer needed after the Armistice, Patrol # 5 was sold in April 1919.

This page features our only views of USS Patrol # 5 (SP-29).

Note: The Ships' Histories Branch of the Naval Historical Center holds one other view of Patrol # 5, possibly taken while she was in Navy service.
This photograph was taken from off the vessel's port side, while she was underway with four men in what appear to be Navy uniforms standing in her cockpit. She bears the numeral "5" on her stack and is painted grey.
The print is mounted on the "SP" data card for Patrol # 5 (SP-29).
