“The roots of today's Coast Guard were established in 1790 by Alexander Hamilton (that's him on the ten dollar bill). Hamilton proposed the formation of the Revenue Marine, a seagoing military service that would:
• enforce customs and navigation laws
• collect tariffs
• hail in-bound ships
• make inspections
• certify manifests” (From Website)
