History

[edit]

She was laid down at the Camden, New Jersey shipyard of Mathis Yacht Building Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard.[3][2] She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore.[4] The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925.[4] She was commissioned in 1924/1925 as CG-113.[3] On 20 July 1928, she was sunk after being hit amidships by the passenger steamship SS Culberson in heavy fog off Cape May; two of her seven crewman were killed.[5][6][7]
