USS Zafiro ( 1884 ) USS " Zafiro " was a collier that served in the United States Navy from 1898 until 1904 . " Zafiro " was constructed in 1884 in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland by Hall , Russell & Company at Aberdeen , Scotland . Admiral George Dewey purchased her for the U . S . Navy at Hong Kong , China on 9 April 1898 just before his Asiatic Squadron sailed for the Philippine Islands at the beginning of the Spanish - American War . Though the " Secretary of the Navy ' s Report " for 1900 indicates that " Zafiro " was placed in commission on 10 April 1898 , her role as a commissioned ship must have been unique indeed for her complement showed only one U . S . Navy man , her commanding officer , aboard . Her status in the Navy from 1898 - 1900 is further complicated by the fact that there are no deck log s extant for her during the period ; her first log begins on 20 September 1900 . Finally , after her service in the Spanish - American War , which ended in August 1898 , she had no naval complement on board until Ensign L . A . Gotten reported on board to assume command on 10 May 1900 . Thus , the date upon which she was placed in commission cannot be established with any precision . In any event , " Zafiro " departed Hong Kong with Dewey ' s squadron in April 1898 and served with it as a collier and supply ship during the Battle of Manila Bay and the ensuing Philippines campaign . The lack of documents covering her activities in 1898 and the first half of 1899 precludes any detailed narrative for that period . Presumably , she plied the waters of the Philippine Islands carrying troops , supplies , and dispatches between points in the archipelago . Based at Cavite on Luzon , she is known to have performed such missions during the period from July 1899 - June 1904 . Those movements — in support of the United States Army ' s suppression of the Philippine insurrection and campaigns against the Moslem Moro tribesmen — took her to a host of exotic places , and the length and breadth of the islands . On 10 June 1904 , " Zafiro " was placed out of commission at Cavite . Her name was struck from the Navy List on 15 January 1906 , and on 21 October 1910 she was sold to Mr . J . W . Zeeve of Seattle , Washington .
