Originally built by DeFoe Shipbuilding, Bay City, Michigan in 1921 for the U.S. Army and commissioned as the steel-hulled Junior Mine Planter (JMP) MAJOR ALBERT G. JENKINS*. After serving in World War II, she was decommissioned in 1951 and sold to the Oil Transport Company, New Orleans, Louisiana. Renamed BAYOU PLAQUEMINE, she was rebuilt as a tug; in September 1966 she was sold to the Nickerson Marine Towing Company of Tampa, Florida, retaining her name. McAllister Brothers, Inc. of New York purchased the vessel in June 1968, renaming her COURIER. She was sold for scrapping in 1972, but her sorry remains can still be seen at Arthur Kill Road ship graveyard on Staten Island.

...nothing remains but her name...
