History
She was laid down at the Camden, New Jersey shipyard of Mathis Yacht Building Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard,[3][2] 30 of which were built by Mathis.[4] She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore.[5] The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925.[5] She was commissioned in 1924/1925 as CG-107.[3] She was struck from the register in 1932/1933.[3]
