    USS Sebago, a 130-ton tug, was built at Camden, New Jersey, in 1893 for commercial use. Purchased by the Navy in April 1898, she served as USS Tacoma until 1899-1900 and was then renamed Sebago. She operated as a harbor tug at several navy yards and stations during her long career, and was designated YT-23 in 1920. Sebago was struck from the Navy List in December 1936 and sold for scrapping the following month.
