Steam yacht Felicia (1899)
Steam yacht Felicia, built by J. N. Robins Company in Brooklyn, New York, photographed during the New York regatta on June 22, 1899. My colorization of John S. Johnston´s photo in the Library of Congress archive.
In 1917 Felicia became a Navy ship:
"USS Felicia (SP-642) was a yacht acquired by the U.S. Navy during World War I. She was outfitted and armed by the Navy as a patrol craft, and was assigned to patrol the New England waters. Her task of protecting ships from German submarines was interrupted by her collision with a submarine. Post-war she was reconfigured to her civilian condition, and was sold in 1919." (Wikipedia)
