Cyane
(YFB-4, ex-USS Gwin, Torpedo Boat # 16)

Ship's bow undergoing repairs at about the beginning of January 1922, after having accidently rammed the stone sea wall while coming into the Torpedo Station at Newport, Rhode Island. Cyane was repaired by Navy personnel by early March 1922 and returned to service.
Note that she still wears her torpedo boat bow number ("16"), despite having been converted to a ferry several years previously.

The original print is in National Archives Record Group 19, Entry 105, Box 192, File O-YFB4.
