''Note: This ship should not be confused with USS ''Dawn'' (SP-37), a yawl ordered delivered to the United States Navy in 1917 but never commissioned into service.'' The second USS ''Dawn'' (SP-26) was a motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a repair boat from 1917 to 1918. ''Dawn'' was built in 1914 by Hehre and Aker at Clason Point in The Bronx, New York, as a private motorboat of the same name. The U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, W. T. Donnelley of Brooklyn, New York, on 19 June 1917 for World War I service as a repair boat, deeming her electric-drive propulsion plant suitable for furnishing electric power for lighting, machine shop work, or repairs. She was commissioned as USS ''Dawn'' (SP-26) on 19 June 1917, the day of her acquisition from Donnelley. ''Dawn'' was assigned to the 2nd Naval District. Apparently she did not prove satisfactory in service, for a January 1918 U.S. Navy note commented that the Navy had decided to return her to her owner. The Navy returned ''Dawn'' to Donnelley on 4 April 1918. ==References== * *(Department of the Navy: Naval Historical Center: Online Library of Selected Images: Civilian Ships: ''Dawn'' (American Motor Boat, 1914).
