Source-derived summary

CG-107 was a wooden-hulled patrol vessel in commission in the fleet of the United States Coast Guard.

History

She was laid down at the Camden, New Jersey shipyard of Mathis Yacht Building Company, one of 203 "Six-Bitters" ordered by the United States Coast Guard, 30 of which were built by Mathis. She was designed for long-range picket and patrol duty during Prohibition for postings 20 to 30 miles from shore. The date of her launching and completion is uncertain although the class design was finalized in April 1924 and all of the Six-Bitters were commissioned by 1925. She was commissioned in 1924/1925 as CG-107. She was struck from the register in 1932/1933.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “USCG CG-107” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1924, 1925, 1932, 1933—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where USCG, CG-107 and Open-knowledge can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 16, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q105721060. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1924, 1925, 1932 and 1933.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
