USS A-1 (SP-1370)

USS A-1 (SP-1370)

The second "A-1" was a converted houseboat used by the United States Navy during World War I. It was assigned the hull number SP-1370 as a shore patrol boat.

The "A-1" was built in 1911 by Sillit Buchanan. Early in the war, the houseboat was inspected for possible naval service, and was taken over from F. E. Wright of San Pedro, California on 6 October, 1917. The vessel was placed into service for the Navy on 30 December, 1917. She operated in the waters of southern California through the end of WWI.

The boat's logs end on 9 December, 1918. So far no record of the boat's subsequent fate has survived.
