USS ''Niagara'' (SP-263) was a vessel of the United States Navy during World War I. ''Niagara'', a yacht built in 1915 by E. A. Fonda of Miami, Florida, was purchased by the United States Navy on 5 July 1917 from General H. M. Creel, of Miami, and was designated USS ''Niagara'' (SP-263). The navy redesignated the boat as ''SP-263'' on 11 April 1918, dropping the name ''Niagara''. After the war, on 29 May 1919, she was transferred to the United States Lighthouse Service, converted into a lighthouse tender and rechristened USLHT ''Poinsettia''. She was assigned to the 7th Lighthouse District in Key West, Florida. ''Poinsettia'' was decommissioned on 21 April 1922 at the Philadelphia Navy Yard and was sold. She caught fire and sank on 27 December 1928. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Niagara (SP-263)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
