USS Traveler (SP-122)

USS Traveler (SP-122) was an armed motorboat that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917 to 1919.

Traveler was built as a civilian motorboat in 1914 by the Mathews Boat Company at Port Clinton, Ohio.

The U.S. Navy acquired Traveler from her owner, Mr. John D. Meyers of Miami, Florida, on 5 May 1917 for use as a patrol boat during World War I.

Following the Armistice with Germany that ended the war on 11 November 1918, she continued to serve at Key West.

On 9 September 1919, Traveler and seven other section patrol boats anchored in the North Beach Basin at Key West were completely destroyed by a hurricane.
