USS Sayonara II (SP-587), 1917-1919

USS Sayonara II, a 74-foot patrol boat, was built in 1916 at Neponset, Massachusetts, as a pleasure craft with the same name. Leased by the Navy for a dollar a month in April 1917, she entered service in May of that year. Sayonara II was employed by the First Naval District to patrol New England coastal waters during and immediately after World War I. She was returned to her owner in March 1919.

Note: The Ships' Histories Branch of the Naval Historical Center holds one other photograph of Sayonara II, taken circa 1917-1919. The view was taken from off the boat's port quarter, while she was off the end of a pier, with other vessels nearby. She is seen relatively faintly and distantly (taking up only about a quarter of the width of the original image).
This print is mounted on the "SP" data card for USS Sayonara II (SP-587).
