The United States Coast Guard was officially created in 1915 by combining the Revenue Cutter Service and the Lifesaving Service. The Revenue Cutter Service was established in 1790 to enforce customs laws, while the Lifesaving Service was founded in 1848 to assist shipwrecked sailors and provide maritime rescue. This merger aimed to enhance maritime safety and enforcement capabilities under a single service.
