USRC Eagle was one of the first ten cutters operated by the United States' Revenue Cutter Service (later to become the US Coast Guard).The Eagle has been often misidentified as the cutter Pickering, which was in fact not launched until 1798 (and so was not among the first ten cutters). Eagle was built in Savannah, Georgia for service in that state's waters. Savannah remained her homeport throughout her career as a revenue cutter.
