(dp. 470 (approx.); l. 163'; b. 22'10"; dr. 10'6" (aft) ; s. 12 k.; cpl. 65; a. 2 3", 2 mg.)

"The first Wenonah (SP-165)—a steam yacht built in 1915 at Neponset, Mass., by George Lawley & Sons— was acquired by the Navy from Mr. Walter G. Ladd on 8 June 1917; converted for naval service; and commissioned on 22 October 1917, Lt. Henry G. Fuller, NNV, temporarily in command.

The armed yacht was fitted out for distant service and departed Newport, R.I., on 4 November 1917 in company with tender Hannibal and yachts Helenita (SP-210), Margaret (SP-527), May (SP-164), Rambler (SP-211), and Utowana (SP-951). Each yacht towed a French-manned, American-made submarine chaser. In spite of a breakdown apiece for Helenita, Margaret, May, and Utowana, the flotilla of yachts and submarine chasers reached their first port of call— Hamilton, Bermuda—on 9 November. Wenonah remained at Hamilton for nine days and then departed in tow of May along with Hannibal, Margaret, Rambler, Artemis (SP-593), Cythera (SP-575), Lydonia (SP-700), and the six submarine chasers on the 18th for the next leg of the voyage, from Bermuda to the Azores. She reached the Azores on 5 December and, after two days at Horta, moved on to Ponta Delgada where she remained from 8 to 19 December. From there, the yacht continued on across the eastern Atlantic and arrived at Gibraltar on Christmas Day. On 15 January 1918, she began escorting convoys between Gibraltar and Bizerte, Tunisia. That duty continued uninterrupted through the end of hostilities in November 1918."

(t. 497; l. 181'; b. 26'; dr. 11'5"; s. 12 k.; cpl. 34; a. 4 3", 2 mg.)

"Lydonia (SP‑700) was built by Pusey and Jones, Wilmington, Del., in 1912; acquired by the Navy 21 August 1917 from William A. Lydon; and commissioned 27 October 1917, Lt. Cmdr, R. P. McCullough in command.

After repairs and target practice off Bermuda, the converted yacht departed the Caribbean in mid‑November and arrived Horta, Azores, 7 December 1917. Two weeks later she arrived Gibraltar to join the U.S. patrol squadron operating along the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides of the Straits of Gibraltar.

Assigned the task of protecting Mediterranean supply convoys, Lydonia remained on constant vigil for deadly U‑boats during the early. months of 1918. She made two attacks on enemy subs in February while guarding Allied convoys and although the results were negative. the experience was to pay off at a later date."
