 | | Anton Dohrn—a motorboat built in 1911 at Miami, Fla., by the Miami Yacht and Machine Co.—was acquired by the Navy on 31 July 1917 under a free lease from the Carnegie Institute, Washington, D.C., and was commissioned at Key West, Fla., on 5 October 1917. |
 | | Assigned to the 7th Naval District, Anton Dohrn operated out of the section base located at St. Augustine, Fla., patrolling the waters along the northeastern coast of Florida. |
 | | After the armistice of 11 November 1918 ended hostilities and reduced the Navy's need for patrol craft, the motorboat was returned to her owner on 2 January 1919. |
