text:
The wooden-hulled excursion steamer Westport was built in 1911 by William McKie of East Boston, MA., and owned by the Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc., of Boston India Wharf at the start of World War I. The Navy inspected the ship in the 1st Naval District on 1 February 1918 for possible use as a passenger and freight carrier, and she was taken over on 14 November 1918. Five days later, her name was changed to Adrian-to avoid confusion with the Naval Overseas Transportation Service (NOTS) freighter
