Fathomer was built by the Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock Company at Hong Kong in 1904. after brief service as the United States Lighthouse Board lighthouse tender USLHT Orchid, she was transferred to the government of the Philippines -- a U.S. territory at the time -- in 1905 and entered service with the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey as a survey ship that year. Fathomer spent her career in the Philippine Islands. On 9-10 December 1929, she rescued 45 men of the Japanese vessel Kenkyu Maru on the west coast of Palawan. On 17 October 1931, she lost three seamen from her crew -- part of a signal-building crew working on the west coast of Palawan -- when their skiff foundered in a sudden squall while attempting to return to the ship from shore. On 29 October 1933, she pulled the Philippine Dutch Company ship Boynain off a reef near Arrecife Island off Palawan.
