U.S Revenue Cutter Service History
Arriving at Washington Navy Yard on 27 July 1865, Delaware was decommissioned there on 5 August and sold on 12 September to the United States Revenue Cutter Service. Commissioned as the USRC Delaware, she served as a Revenue cutter homeported at Galveston, Texas in 1865. In 1868, she underwent extensive repairs at Baltimore, Maryland and was then reassigned to Mobile, Alabama. Delaware was homeported in Pensacola, Florida and renamed the USRC Louis McLane in 1873, honoring the twelfth Secretary of the Treasury Louis McLane. In 1877 she served out of Key West, Florida until 23 October 1903, when she was sold to the private sector for $4195. Renamed the Louis Dolive, she operated until 1919, when she was removed from shipping registers. (Canney, 1995), (Lytle-Holdcamper, 1975)

Famous quotes containing the words revenue, service and/or history:
“Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:13-18.
“For those parents from lower-class and minority communities ... [who] have had minimal experience in negotiating dominant, external institutions or have had negative and hostile contact with social service agencies, their initial approaches to the school are often overwhelming and difficult. Not only does the school feel like an alien environment with incomprehensible norms and structures, but the families often do not feel entitled to make demands or force disagreements.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“The second day of July 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more”
—John Adams (1735–1826)
