USS Wadena (SP-158)
USS ''Wadena'' (SP-158) was a converted yacht patrol vessel of the United States Navy during World War I]. She was built in 1891 in Cleveland, Ohio as a steam yacht for Jeptha Homer Wade II of Cleveland and New York City. During her Navy career, ''Wadena'' made several trips escorting submarine chasers across the Atlantic Ocean, and, later, patrolling in the Atlantic and Mediterranean. ''Wadena'' came to the aid of sinking tug and rescued all of her crew.
During her career as Wade’s personal yacht, she sailed to the Far East in 1895, calling at ports in Japan and China. After the yacht had rescued a Japanese boat in distress, Emperor Meiji attempted to purchase ''Wadena''. Although Wade declined the offers, the ship, after moving on to visit ports in China, was detained for several hours under suspicion of being a Japanese vessel.
''Wadena'' was sold several times after her Navy career ended in 1919, eventually being abandoned and scrapped in 1931.
==Yacht of J. H. Wade==
''Wadena'' was a steel-hulled yacht built in 1891 as the personal yacht for Jeptha Home Wade II by the Cleveland Shipbuilding Company of Cleveland, Ohio. Wade was the grandson of Jeptha Home Wade, the founder of Western Union Telegraph. ''Wadena'' was outfitted with a triple expansion steam engine and was also rigged as a schooner for traveling under sail. The steel of her hull ranged from ¼- to ½-inch thickness (6 to 13 mm) and was applied to a steel frame, and her steel decks were covered with wood. The ship was painted white with teak trimming and featured a gilded mermaid as a figurehead at her prow.
