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)

Looks like a "scout cruiser" of the Chester class, so either USS Chester CL-1, USS Birmingham CL-2, or USS Salem CL-3. They were launched in 1907, and ultimately scrapped in 1930.
perfgeek said:
Given how often Wikipedia claims Salem was in and out of commission, and a lack of mention of participating in reviews in their description of Birmingham that would seem to suggest Chester herself.
perfgeek said:
But then a little more googling finds: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html which lists all three of them :)
