History

Built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by J.W. Lynn, Resolute was commissioned in 1867 and served her entire career homeported at Key West, Florida.[2] She was the second of the Active-class of six revenue schooners built at three different yards.[1][Note 1] Resolute and her sister ship Active, also built by Lynn, were among the last strictly sail-powered cutters built for the Revenue Service.[3]

Notes
Footnotes
  1. Colton claims that the Active-class consisted of only two ships, Active and Resolute, both constructed at the Lynn shipyard. The other four cutters that Canney claims are in the Active-class were built in different yards and had different dimensions than the cutters built at the Lynn shipyard. USRC Relief and USRC Rescue were constructed by Biery & Hillman of Philadelphia and had an overall length of 92 ft (28 m); USRC Petrel and USRC Racer were built by W.H. Hawthorn of Williamsburg, New York and had an over all length of 85 ft (26 m).[4]
