| Corwin (revenue Cutter) | The revenue cutter Corwin was sent to Bering Sea with orders to seize all vessels found sealing in those waters. The first seizures were the Thornton, Captain Guttormansen, the Onward, Capt. Daniel Munroe, and the Caroline, Capt. James Ogilvie. This act was the beginning of one of the most disgraceful and unjust policies to which the United States has ever been a party. These vessels were seized on the high seas, a territory universally recognized in international law as a free highway for the commerce of all countries. The Canadian sealers were engaged in a peaceful occupation when the Corwin swooped down on them, took possession of their schooners, turned part of their men adrift several hundred miles from their homes, without food or shelter; while others, masters and mates of the captured vessels, were thrown into prison and fined. After months of this confinement they were released, and, literally destitute, found their way back to Victoria. E. W. Wright, A Brief History of the British Columbia Sealing |

| Thomas Corwin (revenue Cutter) | The revenue cutter Thomas Corwin was sold by the government early in the year, passing to J. E. Ryus of Whatcom for $ 17,025. Constructed at Portland in 1876, the Corwin had since been in continuous service in Northwest waters, commanded at various times by Captains Hooper, Healy, Herring, Roth, Munger and Slamm. She brought out some of the members of the Greely and DeLong Arctic expeditions and, under Capt. Hooper, once cruised north to Herald Island, the most northerly point yet reached by a United States vessel. Lt. W. R. Reynolds, USRM, an officer on the Corwin landed on Wrangell Island on May 12, 1881, planting an American flag, while John Muir and Dr. E. W. Wilcox made a brief scientific survey of the island. Her most recent mission had been a search for the ill-fated Jessie party on the Kuskokwim River. She was replaced in government service by the 900 -ton composite cutter Daniel Manning, an 18knot vessel buut at Boston in 1897. Gordon Newell, Maritime events of 1899, H. W.

| Thomas Corwin (revenue Cutter) | The most important vessel built in the Northwest in 1876 was the revenue cutter Thomas Corwin, launched at Albina, Or., August 23d. The Corwin is one hundred and fifty feet long, twenty-four feet beam, and twelve feet hold, and cost $92,000. As she was the first Government vessel constructed in the state of Oregon, the occasion of her launch brought forth an immense crowd of spectators. The Corwin is still in active service, and for several years past has spent the summer in Bering Sea looking after the sealing interests. E. W.
