The USS Marie (SP-100) was a wooden-hulled motorboat that served as a patrol vessel for the United States Navy during World War I. Built in 1917 by the Gas Engine & Power Company and acquired by the Navy in 1917, the ship was used for coastal patrol duties along the eastern seaboard of the United States. The USS Marie was armed with a single 3-inch gun and depth charges, and operated primarily in the waters off New York and New Jersey. After the war, the ship was returned to its owner in 1919 and resumed civilian service. Little information is available about the post-war activities of the USS Marie, and it is unclear when and how the ship was eventually decommissioned or scrapped. Despite its brief service history, the USS Marie represents the diverse range of vessels, including small motorboats, that were utilized by the U.S. Navy during World War I to protect coastal waters and support wartime efforts.
