Circle Line Boat: XVII

XVII started out as USCGC Triton, a Coast Guard cutter named after the Greek demigod of the sea, son of Poseidon. She was commissioned on November 20, 1934, originally built for Prohibition enforcement, then repurposed as Prohibition ended.

Around 1942, Triton was reclassified as a patrol craft and operated out of Key West, taking part in anti-submarine warfare patrols and operations throughout the war.

Triton was decommissioned in January 1967 and sold to Circle Line two years later. By 1973, she'd been converted into a passenger vessel and renamed Circle Line XVII.
