''Laura Reed'' was built as a civilian schooner of the same name in 1895 at Noank, Connecticut. On 27 November 1917, the U.S. Navy chartered her from her owner, Henry L. Galpin of New Haven, Connecticut, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was enrolled in the Naval Coast Defense Reserve on 30 November 1917, delivered to the Navy on 3 December 1917, and commissioned as USS ''Laura Reed'' (SP-2009) at New Haven on 6 December 1917.

Assigned to the 3rd Naval District and based at New Haven, ''Laura Reed'' operated as a patrol boat and as a training ship for the Yale University Naval Unit for the rest of World War I.

The Navy returned ''Laura Reed'' to Galpin on 7 January 1919. Provided by Wikipedia
