Photo #: NH 94477 Davis K. Philips (American Menhaden Fishing Vessel, 1877) In port, possibly while she was in U.S. Navy service. Several men in what appear to be enlisted working uniforms are on her decks and those of a nearby vessel. Though described on her official data card as "40 yrs old and below required speed", this fishing vessel was placed in commission as USS Davis K. Philips (SP-978) on 21 May 1917. She was sold on 23 June 1919. Note: The "Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships" gives her name as David K. Philips, though her data card lists her as Davis K. Philips.
