Motor yachts and other pleasure craft
Refitting at New York for the 1919 yachting season in the spring
of that year. Many of these boats served as Navy section patrol
("SP") craft during World War I.
Identifiable boats appear to include Velocipede (ex-Navy
SP-1258), in the center, with bow toward camera, and Osprey
II (ex-Navy SP-928) at far right.
