High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Potomac (AT-50), a tug built in 1897 as Wilmot by the F. W. Wheeler Company, West Bay City, Michigan, was purchased by the United States Navy from the Ocean Towing and Wrecking Company on 14 April 1898 for service in the Spanish-American War, commanded by Lieutenant G. P. Blow. During the war, she served in the West Indies, and was retained by the U.S. Navy after peace was restored. In the ensuing years, Potomac operated out of U.S. East Coast ports. She left Newport, Rhode Island on 28 January 1914 to rescue vessels icebound off Newfoundland. Potomac was herself iced-in and abandoned on 14 February, but salvaged in the late spring, arriving New York Navy Yard on 9 June.
