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