Mosquito Fleet

$20.00 - $25.00

With an air of confidence that the City of New Orleans was protected from any Union army or navy approach from the Gulf of Mexico, the only navy the Confederate and State authorities could assemble were private vessels modified to act as ships of war. This fleet was nicknamed the “Mosquito Fleet”, and was commanded by Commodore Hollins.

This shirt features a 1930s style cartoon depicting a mosquito piloting his ship, which is based off the CSS Ivy, one of the ships within Hollins’ “Mosquito Fleet”, along with St. Louis Cathedral in the background, so you know it’s New Orleans.

These shirts tend to run small, so consider ordering one size larger than you wear.
