She was later renamed Sea Gull and, in May 1917 was acquired by the Navy and placed in service as USS Sea Gull (SP-223). Renamed SP-223 in April 1918, during World War I she was employed as a patrol boat at Hampton Roads, Virginia, and Baltimore, Maryland. The boat was taken out of service shortly after the conflict ended, stricken from the Navy list in June 1919 and was sold for scrap in April 1920.
