USS Relief (YP-2)

USS Relief (YP-2)

The third USS "Relief" (YP-2) was a lookout station tender that served in the United States Navy from 1917 to 1921.

"Relief" was a wooden private motorboat built during 1910 at Yarmouth, Maine. Ensign Walter G. Richardson purchased her for the U.S. Navy for World War I service on 13 June 1917 with funds furnished by the Bar Harbor War Relief Committee of Bar Harbor, Maine, for use as a tender to the lookout station at Crumple Island, Maine. In 1920 she was designated "YP-2".

"Relief" was sold on 4 June 1921 to Gus Potter of Yonkers, New York, remaining on mercantile registers until 1946 when she was transferred to exempt status as a yacht.
