Bailey, a 349 gross ton wooden barge, was built at Elkton, Maryland, in 1896. On 6 March 1918, while owned by R.W. Hudgins & Son of Norfolk, Virginia, she was inspected by the Fifth Naval District for possible Navy service and assigned the registry ID # 2370. Bailey was ordered taken over in May 1918 and presumably entered Navy service at about that time. Reportedly later renamed Coal Barge # 418, she was out of service by the beginning of October 1919.
This page features our only view of the barge Bailey, which became the U.S. Navy's Coal Barge # 418.
