Wave, a 248-ton steam-powered, steel-hulled trawler, was built in 1912 (or 1913) at Quincy, Massachusetts. She was seriously considered for World War I era Navy service, to the point where plans were prepared for her conversion and assignment to the First Naval District. However, though assigned the registry ID # 1706, she was not taken over and remained in the hands of her owner, the Bay State Fishing Company of Boston, Massachusetts.
This page features the only view we have concerning the fishing vessel Wave.
