USCGC Crawford (WSC-134)
USCGC ''Crawford'' (WSC-134), was a United States Coast Guard ''Active''-class patrol boat in commission from 1927 to 1947. She was named for William H. Crawford, (1772–1834) who was appointed in 1816 as Secretary of the Treasury by President James Madison and he continued under President James Monroe through 1825. ''Crawford'' was the seventh vessel commissioned by the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service and the Coast Guard named after the former secretary. She served during the Rum Patrol and World War II performing defense, law enforcement, ice patrol, and search and rescue missions.〔
==Construction and commissioning==
''Crawford'' was built by American Brown Boveri Electric Corporation at Camden, New Jersey and she was commissioned as USCGC ''Crawford'' (WSC-145) on 21 February 1927.〔"Record of Movements, Vessels of the United States Coast Guard, 1790–December 31, 1933", U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, p 408〕 She was the seventh of the ''Active''-class patrol boats to be commissioned, which were designed for trailing the "mother ships" that supported the smuggling boats of "rum-runners" during Prohibition. The ''Active''-class ships were also referred to unofficially as the "Buck & a Quarter" class in reference to their length.〔Scheina (1990), pp 57–60〕〔Johnson, p 88〕
