USCGC Vidette (1919)
USCGC Vidette was a United States Coast Guard Cutter commissioned in 1919. Vidette was built as the wooden-hulled civilian yacht Howarda in 1913 by the Essington Company in Essington, Pennsylvania. The U.S. Navy acquired Howarda in 1917 for use as a patrol boat during World War I. She served in the Navy as USS Howarda (SP-144) until 1919. Vidette's further career and fate are unclear. The United States Coast Guard Historian's Office states that she was sold on 28 July 1922, but clearly she remained in Coast Guard service through at least 1929. She probably was sold sometime in the 1930s.
