editJefferson's "mosquito fleet" This phrase could be mentioned somewhere. It was heard during an AP History course
Other countries?
editI am pretty sure other countries used the term "mosquito fleet" too. Perhaps this could be mentionned?D2306 (talk) 11:17, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Needs lots of work
editThe list is not completely chronological. There are no references. There are stylistic errors. Yopienso (talk) 01:59, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
British Columbia usage
editSo far I've only found one cite for this; File:Fishing boats-the mosquito fleet, Prince Rupert, British Columbia (HS85-10-31727).jpg - in the caption of that image, where it's used for the fishboat fleet based in Prince Rupert BC. I've heard the term before, mostly in reference to fishing fleets I think; unlike in Washington where the ferry fleet and sundry steamships is what's meant; I don't think the term was ever used for the armada of small steamers and water taxis in the Gulf of Georgia...maybe. Just dropping this as a reminder that the USian-only context of this article needs some adjustment/research....pretty sure it's been used in the Caribbean and in SE Asian waters, too.....Skookum1 (talk) 03:48, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
