Ship Losses:
USS Granite State (United States Navy) While under tow to be scrapped, the hulk — the former 2,600-displacement ton ship-of-the-line USS New Hampshire — which had burned and sunk on 23 May 1921 and been refloated in July 1922, burned and sank again in the Atlantic Ocean off Half Way Rock near Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, after her tow line parted in a storm. Her wreck settled in up to 30 feet (9.1 m) of water just off the east end of Graves Island at 42°34′16″N 070°44′45″W.
Metschta (France) The cargo ship collided with Bitinia ( Italy) at Constantinople and was beached. She was refloated on 31 July.
