Her keel was laid down by the Mare Island Navy Yard. She was launched on 8 October 1904 sponsored by Miss Helen de Young and commissioned on 16 August 1907 with Commander Edward E. Capehart in command.
The steel bark was assigned to the Yerba Buena Training Station, San Francisco, California, for duty until 28 February 1912 when she became the receiving ship at the same station.
