USS Anton Dohrn (SP-1086)

USS Anton Dohrn (SP-1086) was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919.

Anton Dohrn was built as a civilian motorboat of the same name in 1911 by the Miami Yacht & Machine Company at Miami, Florida. On 31 July 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her under a lease - either a free lease or for USD $1.00 per month - from her owner, the Carnegie Institute of Washington, D.C., for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned at Key West, Florida, on 5 October 1917 as USS Anton Dohrn (SP-1086).

Assigned to the 7th Naval District and based at St. Augustine, Florida, Anton Dohrn served on patrol duty along the northeastern coast of Florida through the end of World War I.

The Navy returned Anton Dohrn to the Carnegie Institute on 2 January 1919 and she was stricken from the Navy List simultaneously.
