Summary
Description USRC Massachusetts (1791).jpg |
English:
Contemporary painting of a
Revenue Marine
cutter
, which may be of either the
Massachusetts
(1791), or its replacement, the
Massachusetts II
.
Description from the United States Coast Guard website: "This painting purports to illustrate the first cutter named Massachusetts but it incorrectly shows the cutter flying the Revenue ensign and commission pennant, which were not adopted until 1799, well after the first Massachusetts had left service. Nevertheless, the illustration does show those characteristics typical of most of the first few generations of Revenue cutters: a small sailing vessel steered by a tiller, with low freeboard, light draft, lightly armed, and usually rigged as a topsail schooner."
