USS Yarrow (SP-1010), 1917-1919.
Previously the civilian motor boat Yarrow (1913)

Yarrow, a 65-foot motor pleasure boat, was built in 1913 by Kargard of Chicago, Illinois. She was placed in commission as USS Yarrow (SP-1010) in late July 1917, a month before she was formally taken over. Except when laid up during the winter of 1917-1918, she operated on Lake Michigan for the rest of World War I. Yarrow was returned to her owner, K.D. Clark of Chicago, in March 1919.

This page features the only views we have concerning USS Yarrow (SP-1010) and the civilian motor boat Yarrow.
