USRC Active (1791)
One of the first ten revenue cutters, ''Active'' may have been the second of the ten cutters to enter service. The Columbian Centinel on 30 April 1791 noted: A Revenue Cutter, was launched at Baltimore the 9th inst. at Captain Stodder's Ship Yard, and is considered by good judges, a beautiful vessel. She is to be commanded, we hear, by Capt. Gross, formerly First-Lieutenant of the Continental Frigate CONFEDERACY. Operational history ''Active'' almost never made it into the water. Apparently no shipbuilder in the Baltimore area was willing to build a cutter for the price offered by the government. Eventually, after an exasperated Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton offered to increase the payment by no more than 10 percent and then threatened to have the Maryland cutter built in Virginia, David Stodder, of Baltimore, agreed to build the revenue cutter for the government's asking price. She was laid down in January 1791 and her keel entered the water on 9 April of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
USRC Active (1812)
USRC ''Active'', was a revenue cutter of the United States Revenue Cutter Service in commission from 1812 to 1817. She was the second Revenue Cutter Service ship to bear the name. Acquired in 1812, ''Active'' was possibly a chartered vessel. She saw service during the War of 1812. Commanded by Revenue Captain Caleb Brewster, she was part of a flotilla that was blockaded at New London, Connecticut, by the Royal Navy during the war. ''Active'' remained in service until 1817. Another cutter named USRC ''Active'' entered service at Baltimore Baltimore ( , locally: or ) is the List of municipalities in Maryland, most populous city in the U.S. state of Maryland, fourth most populous city in the Mid-Atlantic (United States), Mid-Atlantic, and List of United States cities by popula ..., Maryland, in 1816, so that for at least one year there were two cutters in service in the Revenue Cutter Service with the same name.

USRC Active (1816)
''Active'' was a revenue cutter in commission in the United States Revenue Cutter Service from 1816 to 1825. She was the third Revenue Cutter service ship to bear the name. The Revenue Cutter Service purchased ''Active'' at Baltimore, Maryland, in August 1816. Although she worked in New York City for a short time in 1817, ''Active'' served on the Chesapeake Bay for most of her career. During her first year of service, another USRC ''Active'', chartered in 1812, was in commission, meaning that in 1816-1817 the Revenue Cutter Service had two ships named ''Active'' in commission at the same time. In the early nineteenth century, new laws in the United States prohibited the slave trade between the United States and foreign countries and required the enforcement of Neutrality Acts from 1815 to 1823 during troubles with European nations, creating new missions for the Revenue Cutter Service. ''Active'' was part of the services efforts to suppress the slave trade and piracy P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
