USS Mayflower (PY-1) (later as USCG Mayflower (WPG-183)) was the second ship in the United States Navy to have that name. Mayflower — a luxurious steam yacht built in 1896 by J. and G. Thompson, Clydebank, Scotland — was purchased by the Navy from the estate of Ogden Goelet and commissioned at New York Navy Yard on 24 March 1898, Commander M. R. S. McKensie in command. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Mayflower_(PY-1)

President Roosevelt introduced the Russian and Japanese delegations on board Mayflower on 5 August.
