Peggy was built as a private motorboat of the same name in 1914[3] or 1915[4] by Vanderslice at Camden, New Jersey. On 14 August 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, G. F. Dieser of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned the same day as USS Peggy (SP-1072).
Assigned to the 4th Naval District and based at Philadelphia, Peggy conducted patrols for the rest of World War I.
The Navy returned Peggy to Dieser on 23 November 1918.
