USS Mayflower (PY-1)
USS ''Mayflower'' (PY-1) (later as USCGC ''Mayflower'' (WPG-183)) was the second ship in the United States Navy to have that name. ''Mayflower'' — a luxurious steam yacht built in 1896 by J. and G. Thompson, Clydebank, Scotland for millionaire (Ogden Goelet ) who died on board the ''Mayflower'' in August 1897.
==Spanish-American War==
With the Spanish-American War requiring that the Navy expand rapidly, she was purchased by the Navy from Goelet's estate and commissioned at the New York Navy Yard as the USS ''Mayflower'' on 24 March 1898 with Commander M. R. S. McKensie in command.
The ''Mayflower'' joined Admiral William T. Sampson's squadron at Key West, Florida on 20 April. Two days later, the squadron sailed to blockade Havana, Cuba. ''En route'', ''Mayflower'' captured the Spanish schooner ''Santiago Apostol''. She also took a number of fishing boats and coastal trading vessels. On 11 May, she boarded a large British merchant steamer, which also carried the name ''Mayflower'', and sent the blockade runner to the United States under a prize crew. On the 14th, Alfonso led two Spanish gunboats out of the harbor hoping to break through the American blockade. ''Mayflower''s guns engaged the Spanish warships and drove them back to shelter under the guns of Morro Castle. For the rest of the war, ''Mayflower'' guarded the ports of Santiago de Cuba and Cienfuegos.
