Atglen was laid down as a non-self-propelled commercial barge at South Rondout, New York, in 1900. The U.S. Navy' 3rd Naval District inspected her for possible World War I service in 1917, and they acquired her on 16 November 1917,[2] assigning the barge one of two reported Naval Registry Identification Numbers (either Id. No. 1315 or Id. No. 1350).[3][4] She probably served in and near New York Harbor through the end of the war.
Atglen was returned to her owners sometime in 1919.
