Based at Essington, Pennsylvania, she cruised off the Essington Shipbuilding Company yard and its environs until the war's end. On 8 October 1917, a heavy storm swept across Delaware Bay, threatening to scatter the flotilla, of which Sea Gull was a part, on patrol duty there. The patrol boat USS Vidofner (SP-402) dragged anchor at 07:30 hours and fouled Sea Gull before getting underway and clearing Sea Gull. In the rough seas, both patrol boats dropped their anchors and moored off Brown Shoal Buoy in the hope of riding out the storm, which did not let up. Sea Gull, unable to get underway, drifted off into the pre-dawn darkness on 9 October 1917, dragging her anchors and sending out SOS signals. Sea Gull eventually was taken under tow by another vessel and made haven behind the breakwater at Lewes, Delaware, on 9 October 1917 by 08:15 hours. She found Vidofner, which had arrived under her own power, already there.[1] Disposal Decommissioned at Atlantic City, New Jersey, on 27 November 1918, Sea Gull was ordered returned to her owner on 2 June 1919 and struck from the Navy List.
