Fate
After spending over two years in Union Square, the Landship Recruit was decommissioned and dismantled for moving to Coney Island's Luna Park, where the Navy intended to maintain it as a recruiting depot following its success at its Union Square location. Recruit had its colors struck on 16 March 1920, and preparations began for the move. However, the ultimate fate of Recruit after its move is undetermined.

While the flames roared around it they heard a strange

‘Twas the old flute still whistling ‘The Protestant Boys’.”
