'''USC&GS ''Marinduque''''' was a [[steamer]] that served as a [[survey ship]] in the [[United States Coast and Geodetic Survey]] from 1905 to 1932.
 
''Marinduque'' was built for the government of the [[Philippines]] --, at the time a [[U.S.United States territory]], in 1901. She entered service with the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey as a survey ship in 1905, and spent her entire career in the [[Philippine Islands]].
 
Tragedy struck ''Marinduque'' on 20 April 1909, when a member of her crew, [[Mate#Naval uses|Mate]] P. E. Angell, drowned while attempting to reach a small boat anchored off [[Sigayan Point]] in [[Illana Bay]] on the south coast of [[Mindanao]].
