USRC Resolute, was a revenue cutter of the United States Revenue Cutter Service in commission from 1867 to 1872.[2] She was the only Revenue Cutter Service ship to bear the name.[3]
Built at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by J.W. Lynn, Resolute was commissioned in 1867 and served her entire career homeported at Key West, Florida.[1] She was the second of the Active-class of six revenue schooners built at three different yards.[2][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]
