USS Relief (YP-2)
The third USS Relief (YP-2) was a lookout station tender that served in the United States Navy from 1917 to 1921. Relief was a wooden private motorboat built during 1910 at Yarmouth, Maine. Ensign Walter G. Richardson purchased her for the U.S. Navy for World War I service on 13 June 1917 with funds furnished by the Bar Harbor War Relief Committee of Bar Harbor, Maine, for use as a tender to the lookout station at Crumple Island, Maine. In 1920 she was designated YP-2. Relief was sold on 4 June 1921 to Gus Potter of Yonkers, New York, remaining on mercantile registers until 1946 when she was transferred to exempt status as a yacht.
