1858-1933 - U.S. LANCASTER A.F.F. Naval Token :
ONE SHAVE // 5 Br 20mm Cunningham Index-L230 Curto-N17
U.S.S. Lancaster, 1859-1902, Transferred to Treasury Department Bureau of Public Health Service in 1912. Was used as a quarantine detention ship at Reedy Island, Delaware, Quarantine station until 1920, then transferred to New York Quarantine station. In 1933 hull was broken. (Note: The token says U.S. Lancaster not U.S.S. Lancaster do not know if this is an error on the token or since the ship was decommissioned by Navy and used as quarantine facility by U.S. Treasury was reclassified as U.S. Lancaster, since it was no longer a "ship"- the style of the token fits the timeline used as a quanantine facility)
