Daisy Archer was a schooner of the Maryland State Fisheries Force converted at some time before 1917 into a motorboat.

[1][2] In 1891 the schooner, part of what was then nicknamed the "Oyster Police Navy," supported a scientific survey of southern Maryland sponsored by Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Agricultural College and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Governor P. F. Thomas brought in the captain of Daisy Archer in for supplies and then returned him to the schooner in West River.

[2] The vessel, along with the older Fishery Force schooners Julia Hamilton, Helen Baughman, Bessie Jones and Anna B. Smith were then sold by the Commission.
