The origins of the Coast Guard go back to Alexander Hamilton recommending to Congress to create an agency to protect the fledgling United States' maritime commerce from the British. American commercial vessels were heavily preyed upon by pirates and British privateers. In 1790, Congress authorized the creation of the Revenue Cutter Service and the building of about a dozen cutters. in 1848, local humanitarian effects and other private interests came together into a government agency called the United States Life Saving Service. This agency set up life saving stations throughout the country that utilized small boats and lyle guns to rescue shipwreck victims. In 1915, these two agencies were combined to create the modern day Coast Guard.
