Title: USS St. Sebastian (SP-470)
Description: Moored in port, circa 1917-1919. This motor boat was acquired by the Navy on 25 June 1917 and commissioned on 9 August 1917. Stricken on 24 April 1919, she was wrecked along with seven other SP boats in a hurricane at Key West, Florida, while awaiting sale in September 1919. The Herreshoff-type patrol boat in the left background appears to be USS War Bug (SP-1795). The original print is in National Archives' Record Group 19-LCM.
