<h3>Ship Name and Designation History</h3>
This section lists the names and designations that the ship had during its lifetime.
The list is in chronological order.
<ol>
165-foot B Class Coast Guard Cutter<br/>
Keel Laid March 5 1934 - Launched June 30 1934<br/>
Delivered to U.S. Coast Guard to enforce prohibition laws <br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC ELECTRA WPC-187'''<br/>
Commissioned October 25 1934<br/>
Acquired by U.S. Navy November 8 1935 for use as Presidential Yacht<br/><br/>
<li>'''USCGC ELECTRA AG-25'''<br/>
Designated Miscellaneous Auxiliary (AG) November 11 1935<br/>
Renamed January 30 1936<br/><br/>
<li>'''USS POTOMAC AG-25'''<br/>
Commissioned March 2 1936 - Decommissioned November 15 1945<br/>
Returned to U.S. Coast Guard November 23 1945<br/><br/>
Struck from Naval Register February 25 1946<br/>
Transferred 1946 to The State of Maryland for service with the Tidewater Fisheries Commission<br/>
Sold April 1960 to Warren G. Toone for service as ferry boat between San Juan, Puerto Rico and St. Thomas, Virgin Islands<br/>

Sold (Date unknown) and fully restored and docked at FDR Pier, Jack London Square, Oakland, CA
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Naval Covers</h3>
This section lists active links to the pages displaying covers associated with the
ship. There should be a separate set of pages for each incarnation of the ship (ie,
for each entry in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Covers should
be presented in chronological order (or as best as can be determined).

Since a ship may have many covers, they may be split among many pages so it doesn't
take forever for the pages to load. Each page link should be accompanied by a date
range for covers on that page.
<ol>
<li>[[Potomac_AG_25_Covers_Page_1 | Covers Page 1]]    (1936-41)</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>

<h3>Postmarks</h3>
This section lists examples of the postmarks used by the ship. There should be a
separate set of postmarks for each incarnation of the ship (ie, for each entry
in the "Ship Name and Designation History" section). Within each set, the postmarks
should be listed in order of their classification type. If more than one postmark
has the same classification, then they should be further sorted by date of earliest
known usage.

A postmark should not be included unless accompanied by a close-up image and/or an
image of a cover showing that postmark. Date ranges MUST be based ONLY ON COVERS IN
THE MUSEUM and are expected to change as more covers are added.
<br/> <br/>
>>> If you have a better example for any of the postmarks, please feel free to replace the
existing example.
