The first '''USC&GS ''Davidson''''' was a [[Launch (boat)|launch]] in service with the [[United States Coast and Geodetic Survey]] from 1933 to 1935.
''Davidson'' was built by the [[Luders]] at [[Stamford, Connecticut|Stamford]], [[Connecticut]], in 1925 for the [[United States Coast Guard]]. The Coast and Geodetic Survey acquired her in 1933, named her ''Davidson'', and placed her in service that year. The Survey returned her to the Coast Guard in 1935.
