wpg183

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)

Possibly at the Naval Review 14 October 1912 in New York, where a couple of other photos of US warships in the Bain collection were taken--see comments under the photo of the Delaware in the Bain collection. There is a Naval Historical Center page on the Mayflower: USS Mayflower (1898-1931, later PY-1, the Presidential yacht) The ship has a long and fascinating history--see the Wikipedia article.
