USRC Mohawk, was a steel steam powered revenue cutter built for the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service by William R. Trigg Company at Richmond, Virginia. Her primary duties in the Revenue Cutter Service and Coast Guard were assisting vessels in distress and enforcing navigational laws as well as a derelict destroyer. Mohawk was sunk after a collision with another vessel in October 1917.
Construction
Mohawk was constructed by William R. Trigg Company of Richmond, Virginia. She was commissioned into the United States Revenue Cutter Service on 10 May 1904 at Arundel Cove, Curtis Bay, Maryland, with Captain Worth G. Ross commanding.
History
Based at New York, New York, she cruised the Atlantic Ocean and adjacent waters between Gay Head, Massachusetts, and the Delaware breakwater. When the Revenue Cutter Service merged with the United States Lifesaving Service to form the United States Coast Guard in 1915, she became a Coast Guard cutter. Her primary duties in the Revenue Cutter Service and Coast Guard were assisting vessels in distress and enforcing navigational laws as well as a derelict destroyer.
Mohawk was temporarily transferred to the United States Navy on 6 April 1917 for service in World War I. She was the fourth ship known by that name commissioned into the Navy. While serving on coastal duty in connection with convoy operations, she was struck by the British tanker SS Vennacher and sank on 1 October 1917 off Sandy Hook, New Jersey. All hands were saved but the water was deemed too deep to warrant salvage operations.
Notes
- Footnotes
- Colton mentions the bankruptcy of the Trigg Company in 1903 and the fact that several ships under construction in the yard either were not finished or had to be completed by their owners. Mohawk evidently had to be completed by the Revenue Cutter Service. It is not clear whether this was done under a contract to some third party or the work was completed by service personnel.
