USS Goldfinch (AM-77) was a minesweeper acquired by the U.S. Navy for the dangerous task of removing mines from minefields laid in the water to prevent ships from passing. Goldfinch was built as the trawler Fordham in 1930 by Bath Iron Works of Bath, Maine, and purchased by the Navy in 1940. She served until 1944 and was sold into merchant service in 1946, regaining her previous name. Fordham was sold in 1949 and renamed Titus. In 1960, she was sold to Canada and renamed Beater. She was wrecked
