YP-26 was a former U.S. Coast Guard wooden patrol boat which saw later duty with the U.S. Navy until destroyed in a 1942 accident. HistoryTo combat the smuggling of alcohol during Prohibition following passage of the Volstead Act, the United States Coast Guard ordered hundreds of small purpose-built 75-foot wooden-hulled patrol boats in the 1920s. These became known as the "Six-Bitters". They were unnamed and numbered CG-100 through CG-302. "Their top speed was about 12 knots. Their 8 man crews consisted of a Chief Boatswain's Mate, or a Warrant Boatswain as OIC, along with two lower rated BM's, two Seaman and an engine room crew of a Chief Motor Machinist's Mate, and two lower rated MM's." Originally delivered by the Gibbs Gas Engine Co., Jacksonville, Florida, in 1925, one of 20 of the design produced by the yard,[3] as CG-252, the vessel became excess to Coast Guard needs when ratification of the 21st Amendment repealed Prohibition in December 1933, and a number of the class were turned over to the U.S. Navy. CG-252 was transferred in 1934, redesignated a Yard Patrol vessel, becoming YP-26.[4] BeachingOn Saturday night, 9 November 1940, while serving as a Naval Reserve training ship, YP-26 was beached inside the breakwater at Port Washington, Wisconsin, after striking a submerged rock in a storm, reported Lieut. Edward W. Crandall, of Great Lakes naval training station, on 10 November. "The crew of 14, including Ensign Harl Day, who captained the ship, waded ashore in three feet of water and spent the night in a hotel."[5] DemiseTransferred to duty in the Panama Canal Zone by 1941, YP-26 was destroyed by an explosion of an unknown cause, while hauled out on the marine railway at Cristóbal, Colón, on 19 November 1942.[6][7][8] References1. ^http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/smallships/yp.htm 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/USN-Chron/USN-Chron-1942.html |title=Official Cronology of the US Navy in WWII |publisher=Ibiblio |accessdate=19 November 2013}} 3. ^http://shipbuildinghistory.com/history/shipyards/5small/inactive/gibbs.htm 4. ^http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/smallships/yp.htm 5. ^Chicago, Illinois, "Navy Patrol Boat Beached After Hitting Rock; 14 Safe", Chicago Daily Tribune, Monday 11 November 1940, Volume XCIX, Number 271, page 7. 6. ^http://www.shipbuildinghistory.com/history/smallships/yp.htm 7. ^http://warsailors.com/forum/read.php?1,41586,41661 8. ^http://www.usssavage.org/files/patrol_vessels.txt }} See also
