I received a rather lengthy email at work (I work at a museum) from a person attempting to research her grandfather that was both in the Navy and in the Emergency Fleet during / after WWI. He served aboard the tug YT-5 Samoset in the Philadelphia Navy Yard

She has questions about his enlistment as photos show him in different uniforms (enlisted vs emergency) during that era. I've seen muster rolls for WWII, but I've never encountered WWI muster rolls and definitely not for a harbor tug (Navy or not). I'm hoping someone more well versed in this subject might have suggestions.
