Patrol # 4 was a 40-foot motor boat built at West Lynn, Massachusetts, in 1915. She was leased by the Navy and commissioned as USS Patrol # 4 (SP-8) in April 1917. For the rest of World War I she was employed on patrol duties, based at Newport, Rhode Island, and was returned to her owner in March 1919.

Note: The Ships' Histories Branch of the Naval Historical
Center holds one other view that may be the motor boat Patrol
# 4, probably taken prior to her World War I Navy service.
She is seen from off her port broadside, underway in a harbor,
with the numeral "3" on her stack. However, that number
may indicate that the photo actually shows her sister craft,
Patrol # 3, which was not taken over by the Navy. |
