She was originally the yacht SS Wakiva II built for Lamon V. Harkness in Scotland. Wakiva II served as a convoy escort out of Brest, France, and had several encounters with German submarines. The ship received credit for a "probably seriously damaged" submarine in November 1917. She was lost in a convoy collision in fog en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wakiva_II_%28SP-160%29
