OK so far but Which One? The ships crest on the muzzle plugs gives it away.......................................

Yes, thought so too - but I don't know which one has a chicken as crest... (ducking now!) :loco:

Well here is the 'Chicken' in more detail.........................You only have 2 ships to check out

Well, if eagles do not breed doves, then it must be Rodney...

No guesses, eh.
Here's a hint, 'from before it was the US Coast Guard'.

The POTOMAC (EX CGC ELECTRA)? Roosevelt's presidential party boat. Bought by Elvis at one juncture.

Just amazing what they can do with a bit of canvas and some plywood :loco:

Nope. The Electra was over 20 years later.
Remember, it became the Coast Guard in 1915.
Another hint, built in 1908.
