Lynn, Resolute was commissioned in 1867 and served her entire career homeported at Key West, Florida.^[3] 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.^[2] Notes[] ↑ 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] Citations[] ↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 Cite error: Invalid `<ref>` tag; no text was provided for refs named `Canney38` ↑ ^2.0 ^2.1 "Resolute, 1867", U.S. Coast Guard Cutters & Craft Index, U.S. Coast Guard Historian's Office ↑ Cite error: Invalid `<ref>` tag; no text was provided for refs named `RoM50` ↑ Colton, Tim; "Revenue Cutters Built in the 18th and 19th Centuries", Shipbuilding History, shipbuildinghistory.com website References[] "Record of Movements, Vessels of the United States Coast Guard, 1790–December 31, 1933" (pdf).
