}} | USS Wild Goose II (SP-891), later USS SP-891, was a United States Navy patrol vessel in service from 1917 to 1920. Wild Goose II was built as a wooden-hulled civilian motorboat of the same name by W. H. Chamberlain at Marblehead, Massachusetts. On 7 July 1917, the U.S. Navy took delivery of her from her owner, Winthrop C. Winslow of Boston, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol craft during World War I. She entered service as USS Wild Goose II (SP-891), although no record of her commissioning has been found. Little is known of Wild Goose II{{'}}s career. She probably was assigned to the 1st Naval District in northern New England, as her ship{{'}}s post office address is known to have been in that district as of 1 November 1918. In accordance with an order dated 11 April 1918, the Navy renamed her USS SP-891 to avoid confusion with the patrol vessel {{USS|Wild Goose|SP-562}}, which was in commission at the same time. SP-891 was stricken from the Navy List in 1920. References- {{DANFS|http://www.history.navy.mil/research/histories/ship-histories/danfs/w/wild-goose-ii.html}}
