She served as the lightship for such notable vessels as the liners United States, Queen Mary, and Normandie.The ship was officially designated Light Vessel No. 112 or LV-112 to permanently identify the vessel as the practice was to paint the name of the marked hazard or station on the vessels that often occupied multiple stations.
