Daisy Archer (motorboat)
''Daisy Archer'' was a schooner of the Maryland State Fisheries Force converted at some time before 1917 into a motorboat. The vessel entered into the United States Navy under an agreement with Maryland for joint state and federal service during World War I as a patrol boat with identification ID-1283 from 1917 to 1918. In 1891 the schooner, part of what was then nicknamed the "Oyster Police Navy," supported a scientific survey of southern Maryland sponsored by Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Agricultural College and the U.S. Geological Survey. The lead vessel was the force's steamer ''Governor P. F. Thomas'' with the force's schooners ''Daisy Archer'' and ''Folly'' in support. The survey's scope ranged from natural resources to archaeology. During an extreme cold period in January 1893, with Annapolis iced in and ice extending across the upper Chesapeake Bay, many of the force's schooners were frozen in ice. The force's steamers, and ''Governor P. F. Thomas'', along w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Patrol Boat
A patrol boat (also referred to as a patrol craft, patrol ship, or patrol vessel) is a relatively small naval vessel generally designed for coastal defence, border security, or law enforcement. There are many designs for patrol boats, and they generally range in size. They may be operated by a nation's navy, coast guard, police, or customs, and may be intended for marine (" blue water"), estuarine (" green water"), or river (" brown water") environments. Per their name, patrol boats are primarily used to patrol a country's exclusive economic zone (EEZ), but they may also be used in other roles, such as anti- smuggling, anti-piracy, fishery patrols, immigration law enforcement, or search and rescue. Depending on the size, organization, and capabilities of a nation's armed forces, the importance of patrol boats may range from minor support vessels that are part of a coast guard, to flagships that make up a majority of a navy's fleet. Their small size and relatively low cost ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bessie Jones (schooner)
''Bessie Jones'' was a Maryland State Oyster Police Force (“Oyster Navy”) schooner, part of the force established to enforce state conservation laws designed to protect Maryland's oyster resources when out-of-state, often New England, dredgers began destroying reefs in the Chesapeake Bay. Later local opposition to licenses turned to open "warfare" in the "oyster wars" when a fleet of state vessels fought "oyster pirates" in armed conflicts. ''Bessie Jones'' was assigned to St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1902 and later to thHill's Point, Marylandareas. That force became the Maryland State Fishery Force under the Conservation Commission of Maryland with which the schooner served when the entire force, boats and men, became a part of the U.S. Naval Reserve in an agreement between the state and the Navy in 1917. The force was one of the elements forming today's Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police. In January 1893 new Driggs-Schroeder guns for the Oyster Navy ...

Swan (Motorboat)
''Swan'' was a Conservation Commission of Maryland motorboat. The United States Navy approached the Conservation Commission shortly after the nation's entry into World War I proposing the commission's boats be used to maintain constant local patrols.

''Swan'' was thus acquired by the U.S. Navy on 17 August 1917 for section patrol duty in the 5th Naval District during World War I. The boat was apparently never commissioned or placed in service and was stricken from the Navy List A Navy Directory, formerly the Navy List or Naval Register is an official list of naval officers, their ranks and seniority, the ships which they command or to which they are appoin ...
