Wemootah (SP-201)—a motor boat constructed in 1916 at Morris Heights, N.Y., by the Gas Engine & Power Co. and the Charles L. Seabury Co.—was purchased by the Navy from A. Gardner Cooper of New York City on 16 June 1917; armed at New York, and placed in commission on 7 July 1917. Operating from the Rosebank Section Base on Staten Island, Wemootah served in New York harbor as a patrol craft and net tender through the end of World War I. In January 1919, her battery was removed; and the boat was put up for sale. Her name was struck from the Navy list on 13 June 1919- and she was sold to Mr. W. O. Graves of New York City on 10 October 1919.
