The SS Sagamore was a steamship built in 1893 by Harlan and Hollingsworth in Wilmington, Delaware for the Baltimore and Eastern Shore Steamboat Company. Initially used for passenger and freight services on the Chesapeake Bay, the ship was later converted for use as a ferry and towboat. During World War I, the SS Sagamore was requisitioned by the U.S. Navy for service as a minesweeper. After the war, the ship was returned to her original owners and continued to serve as a ferry until being sold in 1938. Eventually, the SS Sagamore was scrapped in 1953. The ship's history reflects the changing roles and uses of steamships during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, from passenger and freight transport to naval support during wartime.
