I am trying to establish the wartime service record of a 50 for private's motor yacht which served as a patrol craft at or near Providence RI. Her name was Mar-Joy. She was built by Elco in 1928-29. #228439. Thanks, Jerry

Dear Mr. Roberts,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 2 file units concerning the Gas Screw Yacht Mar-Joy (# 228439) in the Vessel Documentation Files of the U.S. Coast Guard (Record Group 26). For access to and/or copies of these file units, please contact the National Archives at Boston (RE-BO) via email at boston.archives@nara.gov.

Additional records may be located at the National Archives at Washington, DC (RDT1). Please contact RDT1 via email at archives1reference@nara.gov.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
