    <H3>MERCY (AH 4)</H3>
    <P>The first MERCY (AH 4) was built in 1907 as SARATOGA by William Cramp & Sons, Philadelphia, PA. An Army troop transport in the first nine months of World War I, she was renamed MERCY and converted to a hospital ship at New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N.Y. She was commissioned on 24 January 1918. MERCY initially operated in the Chesapeake Bay, homeported in Yorktown, VA. She attended war wounded and transported them from ships to shore hospitals. On 3 November 1918, MERCY departed New York City, making four round trips to France, returning 1,977 casualties by March 1919. For 15 years following World War I, MERCY served off the East Coast, homeported in Philadelphia. From December 1924 until September 1926, she was in reduced commission. MERCY was loaned to the Philadelphia branch of the Public Relief Administration in March 1934. </P></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39262A06-CC9F-4090-A7B8-2E84425364F8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
